In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join NJPAC for a virtual discussion of transnational adoption and its effect on identity, acculturation, family ties, and more. The PSEG Social Impact film is First Person Plural, a documentary produced by Deann Borshay Liem who was adopted by a white family from an orphanage in Korea. The film tells the story of her startling revelation that she was not who everybody thought she was, and how she navigated relationships with her biological and adoptive families. To participate, register (free), watch the film in advance at home, and join us for a virtual panel discussion on Monday, May 19 at 7pm.

AAPI New Jersey’s Co-Executive Director Amber Reed will join a powerful panel moderated by attorney Jong Sook Nee, alongside Emmy Award-winning documentarian Deann Borshay Liem, author and professor Kimberly McKee, and licensed clinical social worker and IAMADOPTEE.org Co-Founder Joy Lieberthal Rho.
