As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the ways we define ourselves become more complex. It can be hard to maintain our identities as we travel from place to place and culture to culture. U.N. Representative Soon-Young Yoon shares her experiences as a global citizen with coming to terms with her own identity.
Soon-Young Yoon’s Linked-in profile says “I work for the UN and sometimes I get paid”. As the UN representative for the International Alliance of Women and Chair of the NGO Committee on the Status of Women/NY, she helps to organize the world’s women in support of CEDAW and the Beijing Platform for Action. She received her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan and earned a certificate in computer graphics from Pratt Institute of Art.
