SELL ME: I am from North Korea

SYNOPSIS

A 15-year-old North Korean girl sells herself to save her dying mother. Will she survive as she struggles in a merciless foreign land, where her existence is illegal? Performed at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center and inspired by true stories of incredible North Korean women defectors

MISSION

I am on a mission to help people rethink their preconceived notions of North Korea.  Too often, when people think of North Korea, they automatically imagine nuclear weapons and military parades, forgetting the suffering of the average citizen and especially women. I believe my solo show offers a unique personal perspective of a North Korean woman defector and survivor while raising important questions about women's rights, diversity, and empowerment. I am committed to continuing to share my show to bring the true story of North Korean women to the forefront of the global conversation.
