Ajumma Instigators
SONIA CHIN is a proud soccer mom, a wife, and a corporate CPA. She immigrated to Michigan from Seoul, South Korea, was raised in SoCal, and resides in San Diego. She worked for Arthur Andersen, Shea Homes, and Point Loma Nazarene University in the area of finance and accounting. Growing up without siblings, Sonia found sisterhood in the many ajumma friends who have become lifelong sisters.
Born in Seoul and raised in Chicago, LEE ANN KIM is a first-generation Korean American mom, who now calls San Diego her home. Lee Ann worked as a television news journalist in multiple states (including Alabama!) before starting the San Diego Asian Film Festival and its presenting nonprofit organization, Pacific Arts Movement. She is the oldest of 4 ajummas, and learned her ajumma ways from a devoted mother.
