aishaAbove: @AishaFukushima’s keynote at the #MixedRoots Conference, Osaka University (JAPAN)

Dear Family,

After a rousing weekend at the ミックスルーツ・ジャパン Mixed Roots Japan conference I’m now in Kyoto, getting ready for a concert hosted by the wonderful folks at Kyoto Seika University! Tonight’s event will involve artists holding it down in Kyoto like Seigo and an Open Mic showcasing rap talents from the University! <3 Stay posted!

Part 2 in a series of videos feat. Pharrell Williams called Tokyo Rising focusing on ARTivism in Japan related to the Fukushima power plant meltdown and concerns about nuclear radiation since the devastating earthquake/tsunami earlier this year.

They use the term ‘hapa,’ but I ironically get lost in the mix.

— Reflection on the Hapa conference @ UC Berkeley this weekend. Who can feel me on this? 1Luv, AF
