True friends don't come by easily, especially when you are all grown-up and do not belong to any schools or organizations.

As an ‘introverted' social butterfly, Heena practices her socializing skills at work and alumni events.

We invited our music sponsor Miss Christine to talk about walking on their journey of queer discoveries and creating space for queer folks in their original songs. Christine Moad, a bassist and singer-songwriter, blends indie rock with blues and soul influences delivered with a defiant punk attitude to open listeners' minds to possibilities beyond the gender binary. This episode is a fantastic way to wrap up Pride month; however, remember that the struggles and celebration of LGBTQ+ lives continue throughout the year.   [Miss Christine Bio] Christine Moad has traveled the world from Tennessee to Monaco as a professionally touring bassist. They attended the Berklee College of Music before gaining experience as a session musician in Nashville. Christine defied expectations yet again by leaving Nashville behind for a farm near Iowa City where they write and record their original songs. Miss Christine released their debut solo album, Conversion, in 2019. The follow-up, “Bittersweet,” is now available on CD with a digital release set for 2023.   [Miss Christine Links] Miss Christin Website New album Bittersweet Instagram @MissChristineMusic   [Book Recommendations by Christine] Refusing Compulsory Sexuality by Sherronda J.

Heena finally visited Korea after three years of being apart from her family. The trip was quite a feat because of everything she had to prepare to make it happen. She had to get the flight tickets and apply for a new visa for the return. Her visit turned more difficult due to the scorching heat followed by unprecedented flooding in Korea. Despite all these challenges, Heena stayed positive and enjoyed a staycation with her parents. ----------------------------------------------- More on American K-sisters - Website: AmericanKsisters.com - Instagram @ AmericanKsisters - YouTube: YouTube.com/c/AmericanKsisters - Email: AmericanKsisters@gmail.com        - Music: MissChristineMusic.com
