4. Kellan: An Unfiltered Chat Between Two Adoptees from the Same Chinese Orphanage
from Not Made In China · host Shaosheen Jewel-Quirk
In this deeply personal episode, Shaosheen talks with Kellan, a queer transracial adoptee and somatic therapist, about their journey of healing, identity, and growing up adopted from China in the UK. Kellan shares how somatic therapy can help adoptees process trauma through the body and explores the complexities of transracial adoption, belonging, and self-discovery. Shaosheen and Kellan were both adopted from the same orphanage in China, but weren't in touch growing up, so this episode was a wonderful change to reconnect!
