Charlie Brennan and Min Jung Kim

 

This month's Mosaic Story features a thoughtful conversation between longtime St. Louis journalist Charlie Brennan and Min Jung Kim, the South Korean–born Barbara B. Taylor Director of the Saint Louis Art Museum. Together, they explore Kim’s journey to the United States as an international student, her path to becoming the first woman to lead the museum, and her reflections on building a life and sense of belonging in a new community.

This story aligns with this year’s Welcoming Week theme, “Stories We Share. The Courage to Connect.”, a national initiative launched by Welcoming America in 2012 to celebrate belonging, connection, and the contributions of immigrants and newcomers across the country.
