Thank you all so much for coming/tuning in to the concert!

What a great concert! The road to this concert has been rocky, being a mother and wearing different hats. All of your support meant so much to me and gave me more courage than you know.

This project, "Crossing the Seas," was based on migration stories of myself and my late grandmother. 

The project is entering the next phase. I began collecting stories of other Japanese immigrant mothers living in Queens, NY and creating pieces—I shared short clips of the interviews and one piece in this concert.
