Over one year ago I met online a young American Adoptee who’s blog caught my eye, it was called “Your Blood is My Blood”. Jessenia or Muzik, was a Spoken Word Artist and I had no idea “wha was sup wid dat”. I listened and decided right then and there to start my own blog because I was inspired by her determination and drive.
I had just read again Jane Jeong Trenka’s “The Language of Blood”, one of her first books. I was struggling with the issue of being Half-Korean, not “Full-Blooded” Korean. The genetic code from my mother was in my own blood and Jesennia’s title drew me to listen to her first video. Jessenia Muzik has become 'the Voice of Adoptees' and encourages others to share their stories.
If you are involved in any way in This Thing of Ours-Adoption, go check out her site Here: Your Blood Is My Blood Well, today I ran across This new blogger and immediately thought “this young lady should be connected to Jessenia. THEN, OH, she just started and has 5 followers, and Jessenia is one of them. Diedre’s Link: Only 1 Me Here is Dee, listen to her Story:
No matter what your story, listening to others helps each of us in this complex matter to grow in understanding. I encourage Dee with her search and wish her the best. Go listen, pass on their links to others. We all can learn from each other. Thanks to both of you, for sharing to us all.
