FreeAuthor and educator Soojin Pate will facilitate an interactive workshop on self-care for transracial adoptees, Self-Care 101, at the Hana Center of Chicago, 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 15.

Pate, a consultant dedicated to centering the lives and experiences of historically marginalized peoples, teaches courses on race and ethnic studies in the Twin Cities area.
The workshop will provide a safe space in which transracial and transnational adoptees can discuss how the “isms” racism, sexism, colonialism they encounter in society can affect them as people of color, and how to combat the the harmful messages they receive from society, family, and even from themselves.
Korean Adoptees of Chicago offers regular public events which are promoted on its Facebook page.
