WHO WE ARE:

Margie, a first-generation immigrant, arrived in the US as a toddler from Korea and grew up in the Twin Cities. Margie has over a decade of experience working in philanthropy and leading grassroots community-organizing efforts. Her experiences fuel her conviction that a small group of people can make a difference and that there is power in standing up for your values. In addition to working at a private foundation and being a leader for NPA, Margie is also board chair of the Coalition of Asian American Leaders and represents District C on the Metropolitan Parks & Open Space Commission. She has a BA from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, and a MPA from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

Elly is a Chinese adoptee who grew up in San Francisco before heading out to Minnesota for school. Elly is passionate about creating spaces for complex discussions about adoption and how it intersects with power, race, class, and gender. In their free time, Elly enjoys fixing bikes, playing ultimate frisbee, and hanging out with their cat.

Kyung Hoon Filla-Kim is a Korean adoptee who spent her early life in Northwest Minnesota and has also lived in Florida, Colorado and Seoul, South Korea. She is an avid traveler and is interested in cross-cultural community building through shared stories and advocacy. She has worked in the Twin Cities with various groups and is currently involved with NPA (Network of Politicized Adoptees) and an informal group focusing on the adoptee experience of mothering.
