TADAIMA 2020 PROGRAMMING

The Yon-Say Podcast Season I was presented by Nikkei Rising during the summer of 2020 as part of the Tadaima virtual pilgrimage. The podcast provided round-table discussions with young adults who are involved in the Japanese American community. The purpose of the podcast was to honor our community’s history and explore its relevance today. A new episode of the Yon-Say Podcast was released weekly during the Tadaima Virtual Pilgrimage 2020 series. You can listen to all nine episodes in Season I, learn more about Japanese American history, and meet our guests by clicking here.

Do you want to become involved in the Japanese American community but don’t know how? The JA Opportunity Fair was created just for you! Throughout the Tadaima 2020 Virtual Pilgrimage we met with organizations across the nation to find programs available to young Japanese American adults and allies. “All Things JA” highlights opportunities offered by Japanese Organizations.

Throughout the Tadaima virtual pilgrimage participants learned about Japanese American incarceration and the experiences leading up to and following the incarceration. We found group discussions helped us to absorb the lessons from the pilgrimage. During our Hearthside Chats, Nikkei Rising held small weekly discussion groups for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
