Man, fuck ‘grind culture’ and everybody who glamorizes it.

People need to stop putting value on working so hard they destroy their brains, their bodies, and their relationships.

Just do what you have to do to enjoy what little time you have in this world.

Never forget that you are amazing.
You are loved, valued and appreciated.
You are worthy of all the good things in life.
The world is better because you are in it.
You are capable of achieving great things.
You are special and deserve to be celebrated every day.

At age 4, I was classified as 4c, enemy alien, even though I was born in the U.S. Within a few months, the internment of our community was ordered by FDR with broad support from the American people, who turned their backs upon us. We lost our homes, our businesses and our freedoms. (2/4)

It has been my lifelong mission to tell the story of the Japanese American internment so that we remember and do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now, I am bringing that story to the UK from Jan-Apr in a show called “Allegiance” based on my own experiences. (3/4)
