wasabipress (California, United States)
wasabipress (a.k.a Patricia Wakida) is a Yonsei writer, artist, and cultural worker. She was born in the Year of the Dog in San Diego, California and raised between Honolulu, Hawaii and Fresno, California. She has contributed a couple of articles to Discover Nikkei and is now helping us to organize the Itadakimasu! project. Without her, we would’t have been able to launch the project.
Discover Nikkei is a cultural and identity traveller’s best friend: it provides shelter and diversion for those hungry and in search of intellectual insight or a diasporic companion; they’re a reliable source of maps, travel guides, memoirs, and historical lessons. Discover Nikkei hosts readings, panel discussions on pertinent topics, potlucks and other cultural events, and if you find yourself in search of a portal to enter where people lend and leave authentic impressions of our increasingly complex global culture, this is the place to go for replenishment. Discover Nikkei is legit.
