Summary

Kathy Kim is a puppeteer and voice of the first Asian-American Sesame Street muppet, Ji-Young. Kathy gives us the lay of the land into puppeteering and recounts her journey to Sesame Street. We also get real about self-worth and shedding the bad habit of crediting our accomplishments solely to circumstance. Please check us out on Patreon!
