A Gen-Xer, Jacqueline Yoshioka-Braid was born and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand to a Japanese mother and Kiwi father. In her twenties and thirties she spent a number of years living and working in Japan where she discovered not only the roots of her Japanese family, but also the language and culture of her mother. These days, Jacky lives in Hawke’s Bay with her mother and works as an education faciliator for Massey University and dabbles in photography in her spare time.
