Biography
This project is inspired by the "good people" before me--the ones who have fought for justice and equality: some as draft resisters from behind barbed wire or "No-no"s sent to Tule Lake, some as community builders and culture workers from the heyday of the Asian American movement.
I hope to continue this tradition with Nonogirl Radio via webzine, podcast, and traditional radio production.
