Rebuilding an Identity with Grief and Scraps
Learning about Chuseok in fragments from one’s mother, adapted from Tasha Jun’s book “Tell Me the Dream Again.”
Tasha Jun
Tasha Jun is a Korean American melancholy dreamer, wife to Matt, mom to Asher, Timo and Everly. She grew up in a multicultural and biracial home, and because of that, she’s spent her life navigating cultural collisions and liminal space. She sees the world best through stories and poetry. She is passionate about helping others notice beauty and embrace themselves as wholly beloved image bearers. She writes about everyday life and cultural and ethnic identity, and writing has always been the way God has led her towards the hope of shalom.
Tasha is a monthly contributor at (in)Courage. She’s also written for publications like Relevant, The Mudroom, PAX, SheLoves Magazine, MOPs, Everyday Faith, Think Christian and others. She lives in the greater Indianapolis area with her husband and three children. Her debut book, Tell Me the Dream Again, releases in May 2023.
