Meet the 2022 Changemaker Award Recipient
Kathleen Kim
Puppeteer and Producer

Kathleen Kim is a producer based in NYC and the principal puppeteer for the Woori Show, which has inspired thousands of children nationwide to be proud of and learn more about Korean culture. She debuted last year as the performer behind Ji-Young, Sesame Street’s first Asian American Muppet character in over 50 years. Together, Ji-Young and Kathleen have provided much-needed representation on screen for Asian American children and helped facilitate critical conversations with families about the difficult topic of anti-Asian hate.
The Changemaker Award honors an individual, company, or organization who is a catalyst for change.
