Update: I just finished the one big remaining part of my recently departed close friend Jose Lim’s relandscaped, drought tolerant backyard. Because he went with a xeriscape everywhere else, I resisted my instinct to plant azaleas and instead planted an array of succulents. Our cycling group gifted Jessica with the beautiful turquoise ceramic fountain.

@nellyukiye made many trips to Manzanar, where her maternal grandfather had been unjustly imprisoned along with 11K other JAs during WWII. In retrospect it now seems inevitable that she chose to focus on that camp as the focus of her Girl Scout Gold Award, creating a virtual experience of this dark chapter in America's history. https://asianamericapodcast.com/2023/02/ep-414-nell-yukiye-murphy-on-raising-more-peoples-awareness-of-the-injustices-suffered-by-japanese-americans/

Actor/writer @jelijahcho will be performing his "Mr. Yunioshi" as part of the Solo Shows Festival of 2023 at the Sierra Madre Playhouse (Sierra Madre, CA) from Jan 27-Feb 5. By playing the late actor Mickey Rooney after he's cast as Japanese photographer "Mr. Yunioshi" in the iconic film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in 1961, Cho helps us all explore not only the problem of casting White actors as Asians (aka "yellow face"), but accomplishes this in unexpected and hilarious ways.

This enabled him to connect with the ongoing anti-Asian hate. You'll get to hear the entire track where he raps about his response to it all now, and also why he now centers his artistic POV in SF's Chinatown. #aapi #aapiartists #chinatown #chinatownsf #antiasianracism
