First kimono (and performance) of 2024! While traditional dance is a hobby of mine, it’s inspiring to watch so many talented dancers, and be part of an art that has kept kimono alive and vibrant in the Japanese Canadian community.

Behind The Camera Japan will soon be publishing another round of work by photo scholars and so I am grateful for the opportunity to again share this ongoing project on the history of Japanese photography. Stay tuned! ✨

Two months ago, I helped organize the programming of the JCYoungLeaders 2024 conference. It was humbling and inspiring listening to JC leaders Perry and Omatsu, and listen to the exciting ideas of the yonsei, gosei, shin issei and nisei! 皆さん、ありがとうございました！🙇🏻‍♀️

Very late throwback to the #kokorofilmfest , organized by the NAJC_Toronto this summer! So much fun, and such an honour to speak on the intergenerational panel ❤️

It feels surreal to attain a Master of Arts researching Japanese Canadian history at an institution where, 82 years ago, my great uncle was forced to leave because of his race. I hope to use the opportunities I have been given to continue to tell the stories of my community.
