In her final podcast episode, Joanna Gaines spoke honestly about her early struggles to embrace her Korean roots.
Sitting down with her mother, Nan, for an emotional interview on the Nov. 28 episode of “,” the “Fixer Upper” designer talked about grappling with embracing the heritage passed down to her from her mother, who is Korean.
Looking back at her mother's life, Gaines went on to tearfully tell her mom how an experience walking the streets of Koreatown in New York City as a senior in college altered her mindset. “Chatting with my sisters about shared experiences growing up on last week’s podcast was sweet and somehow therapeutic,” she captioned the post. “And on today’s final episode, my mom is joining me to share her incredible story. A story that I’m honored to be a part of. You can listen to The Stories We Tell on your favorite podcast platform!”
“Listened to your podcast with the sisters. I hope you girls don’t feel so bad because the world was different when you were growing up as opposed to your daughters,” another noted. “There is more acceptance of not only Asian culture but also mixed cultures. Mixed kids used to have to pick a culture unless you had any African American in you then you were just black. Now you can be accepted as both parents’ culture.
