This study aimed to examine the experience of African-American female teachers living in Korea through the lens of one elementary English teacher’s narrative, and the implications with regard to multicultural education for children in a society that claims racial, ethnic, and cultural homogeneity. Data comprised the teacher’s spontaneously generated video blogs on YouTube that describe her experiences and critical incidents while serving as a native-speaking English teacher in a Korean elementary school. Thematic analysis of the data produced three themes: the importance of understanding young Korean children, who have not been exposed to cultural diversity, and engaging them positively in lessons on cultural differences; the significant role of the Black teacher, who could exemplify as well as explain human diversity and support children’s discussion of multicultural concepts among themselves; and the need to help young learners question narrow conceptions of beauty, and build appreciative attitudes toward different cultures and human diversity.
