Our Values
Live an unhyphenated life. We are whole and everything – not the dichotomies between identities.
Make heART. We create art with heart and need both to live full and happy lives.
Love yourself. Love everybody. We strive to love ourselves first, so we can love others better.
Embrace the universal in the specific. Our unique features and individual stories remind us that we all want the same things. We are all the same inside.
Center self-sovereignty. We have autonomy over our thoughts, beliefs and actions. We reject colonizing traditions and seek better ways to live.
Build symbiotic community. Life is all about energy exchange. We aim to offer beneficence and welcome it back.

Komerican Pie is a weekly webzine celebrating Korean-American Komerican lifestyle and the multi-generational immigrant experience. In 2023, Sarah canceled her debut book deal with an international publisher to take a chance on creating new channels for media and representation. She asked Aram to bring some fresh ingredients and they baked Komerican Pie to a crispy crust in January 2024.
