Bio
Julie Kang was born in Seoul and traded her Korean language skills for a Valley Girl accent when her family settled in southern CA. Often described as "too big for the room," Julie brings shame upon her ancestors daily with her unconventional humor and potty mouth. She is married to Tim, mother to Isaac and Emily, and they all live in Long Beach, CA in a 50's neighborhood straight out of "The Brady Bunch." When gripped with existential angst, she enjoys blasting 90’s Britpop and shoegazer music whilst cruising in her Prius down her local stretch of PCH. Julie is a database programmer by trade, but is also the creator of Geisha School Dropout, and a writer for the Kimchi Mamas, a consortium of women raising Korean American children.
