Unfurl as transformation
In case you missed it, I am thrilled to be the next guest editor for Yellow Arrow Journal’s Vol. X, No. 1 (spring 2025)!
The theme is UNFURL, as in transform.
This next issue of Yellow Arrow Journal explores the process people go through when finding and transforming into their authentic selves. This issue will be a survey of the unique journeys people take when experiencing and undergoing self-transformation, journeys that all start with a little fire, a desire, deep inside.

Here is an excerpt from my blog piece
Just a few years ago, you wouldn’t find me here, writing about my South Korean birth family or the unyielding adoption industry. I was out wandering in the fog—a soft, cozy place of adoption unawareness I inhabited nearly my entire life. I hadn’t yet “come out of the fog,” or in other words, I had not gotten to a place where I accepted the realities of my relinquishment and familial displacement. The fog protected me from emotions I couldn’t quite process and from complex concepts I had yet to understand. It probably saved my life though, in turn, it kept me from understanding who I was, a cruel bargain.
What is YOUR story of transformation? I hope you will consider submitting your writing -and art!- to me I can’t wait to read your words.
