I want my elected officials on camera/SM/news protesting every single damn day! 30 sec-2 min in front of a camera or their SM savvy intern to give a concise run down of what is being done to HARM Americans today. In plain language. Today you are less safe than yesterday because....
An effort to honor every name in the Ireicho, a historic listing of Japanese Americans wrongfully incarcerated during WWII, is 75% funded. Please consider supporting this cause.

JANM supports the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, which will be reintroduced early in the 119th Congress. This bill would repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which was used to intern 31,000 noncitizens of Japanese, German, and Italian descent during World War II.

Thank you, Buddhist Church of Florin, for inviting me to share THE MOCHI MAKERS at “Mochi Madness” today! 🌸 Making connections with so many lovely people and being part of this special tradition of mochi-making together was moving and memorable. 💖
🌸 THE MOCHI MAKERS Book Event:
Sunday 1/26/2025
Buddhist Church of Florin (Sacramento) 🌸
There’s so much going on in the world, and sometimes it feels as though we are suspended between hope and despair, light and darkness. But amidst all of this, today, I held my very first copy of SHELL SONG in my hands. So grateful! (Coming April 15, 2025 from Simon & Schuster/Beach Lane Books). 🐚🎵
🌸 I have a special book reading + signing this Sunday, January 12. Free, open to public! Parkview Presbyterian Church was founded in 1912 by Japanese immigrants, torn apart by World War II, rebuilt as a multicultural community that marked its 110th year in 2022. Reading, book-signing, mochi-making!
So excited to be part of Oshogatsu Festival today at the Japanese American National Museum! 🎍🌸🗻 Los Angeles area friends, I’d love to see you! I’ll be reading THE MOCHI MAKERS at 12:30 PM and 4 PM today.
THE MOCHI MAKERS 🌸🎍🍡 at Oshogatsu Family Festival at @jamuseum in Los Angeles! Readings: January 5 at 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM. 🌸🎍🍡 www.janm.org/events/2025-...
