South Korean | Nigerian

I identify as South Korean / Nigerian. My Dad went for a business trip in South Korea and met my Mum at the bus station. My parents made a few compromises to adapt to their new life as a couple, like losing some friends and family members. They both left the country they grew up from, which eliminated most of their problems.

Interracial relationships are a lot better, easier and less deadly as compared to old times, where people were prohibited by culture to relate with other people. The internet as well has made it easier for people to express opinions, solve problems and enlighten each other.

I get a lot of attention because of the way I look, people also find it easy to trust me. I've been able to avoid some mistakes because people are always looking at me. Most people think I'm a billionaire. Most people think my life is easy because of my color.

I was born in South Korea, but I grew up here in Nigeria. So I only know much of Nigerian culture. My connection to my identity has changed as I have grown up, it will evolve as I get older. I'll be gaining experiences, perspectives and knowledge. My views will evolve as well.

I work with clients from different continents and I haven't had any problems relating to my culture or sexuality.

If I had the opportunity to be reborn I'd like to return the same way. I regret nothing so far. I believe wherever I pop up, I'll thrive, it'll only take some time depending on the environment.

I'm an introvert and a Digital Nomad. So, my lifestyle suits the current global pandemic. I don't need to go out and all my work and entertainment is online, so I work from home and enjoy it from home as well. I've had more time to watch anime, play games, work, work out and plan ahead and also work on my bad habits.
