Welcome back to The Closet podcast. For this episode, we have an amazing guest, Yeonmi Park. Yeonmi is a North Korean defector and human rights activist. She escaped the brutal Kim dictatorship as a teenager only to fall victim to sex trafficking in China, before escaping to South Korea by walking across the Gobi Desert. Eventually making her way to America, where she is now a citizen, Yeonmi has dedicated her life to bringing attention to the horrors and atrocities taking place in her home country and in China. Yeonmi is also the author of the international bestseller In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom. She is a graduate of Columbia University and lives in New York City. Come and join me in The Closet, a place for intimate conversations, self-expression, and connection when we need it the most.
