Meeting 44: "Pachinko"

Hey Baddies! We’re back with another powerful episode of My Baddie Can Read Podcast. For September, we dove into Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. A sweeping multigenerational story of love, sacrifice, and survival. In this episode, we explore the striking parallels between the experiences of Black Americans and Koreans navigating identity and belonging, reflect on Noa’s heartbreaking passing, and examine the heavy weight of shame Sunja carries throughout her life. Join us as we delve into the themes of family, resilience, and what it means to carve out dignity in a world that often denies it.
