The Nikkei Spotlight Series
Japanese for Nikkei presents Nikkei Spotlight Series, an online speaker series created for our community to celebrate the voices of Japanese Canadians and Americans, as well as those who have connections to Japan, giving talks on their field of expertise.
Our vision is to spread awareness about professionals in our communities, including but not limited to artists, authors and academics, who are breaking barriers and doing formative work to help raise awareness of a global Japanese diaspora.
This event will be recorded on Zoom and uploaded to Japanese for Nikkei's YouTube channel. Please register to join live!
