Yeojin Lee

I was born and grew up in Seoul, South Korea. After several years of working at various organizations in Korea, I immigrated to Canada in 2013. I first lived in Vancouver before moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I spent the majority of my time in Halifax until moving to Toronto. Prior to studying social work at Dalhousie University, I studied early childhood education and worked in an educational setting for several years. During my BSW program, I learned a lot about human rights and social justice for marginalized people. This made me want to learn more about racism against Asians and the history of people of Asian descent in North America, especially in Canada.
