Meet the storyteller
About Christine Young
Christine Young (she/her) is a Korean American herbalist and writer who builds community through care, culture, and everyday rituals. She is a mother, a neurodivergent creative, and someone who finds joy in laughing with her child, tending to plants, and making art.
Christine grew up with the flavors of her family’s kitchen. Gimbap, gamjajeon, and seaweed soup shaped her earliest memories, and she now makes kimchi in her shop using her mom’s and halmoni’s recipe. Her work with herbs is rooted in this same lineage of nourishment and connection.
She feels closely aligned with AGI’s mission because she once longed for a space like this growing up: a place where Asian American youth feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, and self-understanding. Her hope is to offer those possibilities to young people today through culture, care, and story.
