About Entangled Curiosities
Entangled Curiosities is a place for stories and systems that don’t fit neatly anywhere else.
I write from the in-between.
Between grief and governance.
Between a Korean childhood and colonial institutions.
Between writing because I need to AND building something that might one day hold others, too.
This newsletter began as a way to say what wasn’t being said. Because we were either too polite or too siloed in our thinking. About sustainability that forgets justice. About gender equity that forgets labour. About beautiful ideas that get stuck in whiteboard purgatory. It’s where I braid strategy, storytelling, critique, and care into something slightly more useful than despair.
You’ll find essays, provocations, dry humour and (occasionally) small glimmers of hope on:
Intersectionality as infrastructure, not just a hashtag
The quiet grief of watching systems fail again and again
Feminist leadership in broligarchic rooms
Cultural memory and decolonial design
Climate, AI, and the ethics of pretending everything’s fine
My eternal love and obsession with cats
It’s not a niche newsletter about ESG. Or feminism. Or Korean diasporic identity. It’s a knot. A tangle of personal essays, policy critique, strategic insight, and unmarketable truths: some resolved, some still fraying.
And if I’m honest, the courage to start writing publicly again came from loss.
My brother Mike was an artist, a sharper writer than I’ll ever be. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2023. He never shared his work widely despite its brilliance.
But he shared something else: his most generous act. After he passed, four people received organ transplants that gave them a second chance. That kind of quiet generosity and that radical privacy was so him.
Mike and I argued often, laughed more, and debated everything from politics to poetry.
I miss his dry humour and incisive mind every day. He’s not here to read what I write, but in many ways, he’s the invisible co-founder of this space. The reason I stopped waiting for perfection and just began again.
If you’ve ever asked different questions in rooms that didn’t want different answers…you’re in the right place.
