by Martin and Rich Lee
Growing up in an immigrant family, we rarely saw our parents because they each worked two jobs and on the weekends. It taught us the value of a good work ethic but it also taught us to push ourselves even when stressed and unhappy with circumstances. The competitive nature of our society doesn’t help any. So sometimes we need to remind ourselves and our friends that it’s ok to take a break and focus on self-care.
Martin and Rich Lee are second-generation Korean American brothers. Martin is a retired elementary school teacher and the illustrator of the strip. Rich is a professor of psychology in Asian American studies at the University of Minnesota and writes the content.
