Everything's Not Black & White
This show is about presenting different perspectives and points of view on topics trending in our communities and families today and understanding the experiences/backstories behind those perspectives. Most people come to a feeling or belief about something, based on past experiences or first-hand knowledge. This affirming and validating information-sharing makes it ever so important for others to respectfully ask curious questions and share opposing feelings/beliefs in a way that does not cause offense or creates further divisive harm to our human relationships.
Everything's Not Black & White
Owning Your Legacy
Every day, news headlines remind us just how much many politicians want to erase parts of our history. Despite their fruitless efforts, the many atrocities our ancestors have experienced can never be forgotten. Those legacies often become the fuel that ignites our passion for change. This rings especially true for our guest Jordan Nishizaki. Jordan will provide a glimpse into his family's history, from when they were prisoners in Japanese Internment Camps during World War II, to their triumphant return back into society, despite all odds being stacked against them. You won't want to miss this episode.
