Our Values

Live an unhyphenated life.

We are whole and everything – not the dashes between our identities.

Transmute han into wisdom and defiant joy.

We meet the discomfort and injustices of life and awaken to their lessons. We overcome challenges for ourselves, our ancestors, and our future. We use the bad to make us great and we celebrate this.

Embrace the universal in the specific.

We trust our offerings resonate beyond our Komerican roots. We respect human stories from all walks of life — not just the viral ones.

Center self-sovereignty.

We have autonomy over our thoughts, beliefs and actions. We reject colonizing traditions and center our health, comfort and joy.

Build symbiotic community.

We aim to offer beneficence and welcome it back. We are bound together and the energy between us impacts us all.

Make heART.

We create art with heart and need both to live full and happy lives.

Love yourself. Love everybody.

We know loving ourselves first helps us love others better.

Celebrating Korean-American Komerican life and the immigrant experience with defiant joy. Made with heART.
