Season 5, Episode 10: Grief and Forgiveness -- JoYi Rhyss

Mixed-race Korean adoptee JoYi Rhyss, 51, shares her story of grief and forgiveness. Her pain starts in Korea, where she lived with her Korean other until age nine, but always aware she might be sent away because her dark skin meant she didn't belong. Her journey took her to one of the whitest areas of the U.S., in a rural Minnesota town with Norwegian heritage where she grew up feeling othered and also not belonging. Rhyss's journey of self-hatred and not belonging took her down a path of discovering how to embrace her Blackness and learning how to accept herself.
