Komerican Pie is a weekly webzine celebrating Korean-American Komerican lifestyle and the multi-generational immigrant experience. Check out Our Values and Our Ingredients to learn more about us.
In 2023, Sarah canceled her debut book deal with an international publisher to take a chance on creating new channels for media and representation. She asked Aram to bring some fresh ingredients and they baked Komerican Pie to a crispy crust in January 2024.

Komerican Pie is made with heART. Love yourself. Love everybody.
Sarah Choi, Founder & Contributor
Sarah loves boosting the heART and sEoul of the Korean diaspora across the U.S., and living a whole and unhyphenated life by embracing ALL the parts that shape her. She believes that anyone can relate to the Korean-American Komerican experience because in the U.S. — we’re all from somewhere else. Sarah celebrates the multi-generational immigrant experience and rejects narrow categories and limiting identities for everyone — trusting that we share more in common than not. After living in seven different cities, Sarah calls Atlanta home with her family. You will find her happiest hiking up a mountain. Read her Q&A to learn more.
