"I was 21 the first time I walked through Koreatown. I’d just moved to NYC and was missing home, and everything about these streets—the food, the smells, the language—reminded me of my mom. It was the first time I can remember truly feeling connected to a culture I grew up believing I needed to hide," Joanna captioned the video.
"It was beautiful to watch people live out the fullness of their story. Finally, I was seeing the beauty of being unique and realized that what made me different was actually the best part about me."

The Fixer Upper star is a doting mom to three sons and two daughters; Drake, 17, Ella, 16, Duke, 14, Emmie, 12, and Crew, four.
In a recent interview with People, the TV star opened up about an upcoming emotional change the family will face in the next 12 months. Reflecting on how quickly time has passed, she told the publication that it will be bittersweet when her firstborn, Drake, moves out of the family's home to attend college.
She said: "When [Drake] was Crew's age, people would look at me and say, 'Oh, you better hold on tight. It goes by fast. Now, being a mother of a four-year-old and an almost 18-year-old, it's a constant reminder to not take these moments for granted."
