In this two-part interview, I speak with my friend Kaya, who is ethnically Japanese but was born and raised in New Zealand. We have a conversation about what is was like for her growing up in a predominantly white community, going on to work in a largely white workforce, all the ways she was reminded that she was "different" and how she began the process of unraveling years of conforming to racial oppression.
Stay tuned for Part II next week, when we dive more into her work around cannabis education and wrap up on where she is at in her culture identity journey.
