Founder & lead facilitator

The Courage Studio is a project by Michelle MiJung Kim, an award-winning author, entrepreneur, and lifelong social justice advocate whose work sits at the intersection of personal transformation and systemic change.

Michelle is the author of The Wake Up: Closing the Gap Between Good Intentions and Real Change and the host and creator of I Feel That Way Too, a narrative podcast exploring life's most tender and complicated questions with honesty. She previously co-founded and served as CEO of Awaken, a social enterprise that trained thousands of leaders across organizations to advance equity, inclusion, and cultural change.

The Courage Studio is the next chapter, an experimental learning hub for change makers who are ready to move beyond critique to action in this disorienting time.

Individual acts of bravery aren't enough.
We need to build conditions where collective courage becomes possible and sustained.
