In this episode of the Voice For You podcast, host Jeshwant Vana interviews Bahnya Kim, a dynamic young leader and founder of 38 Freedom, a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for the rights of North Koreans. Bahnya shares her journey as a Korean American, her passion for public speaking, and her involvement in extracurriculars such as speech and debate, while reflecting on the challenges and rewards of building 38 Freedom—an initiative inspired by her firsthand exposure to the North Korean community and her commitment to raising awareness about their struggles. She also discusses the competitive nature of speech and debate, the unique obstacles she faces as a female competitor, and the importance of staying focused amid distractions and negativity. The conversation underscores the power of youth activism, concluding with Bahnya’s advice to aspiring changemakers to remain committed to their passions and recognize the strength of their voices in driving meaningful change.
