Networking, Activism + Diversity through Creativity in Japan | Ayana Wyse

Osaka-based New Yorker Ayana Wyse shares about her creative and community-building work in Japan. Ayana founded Black Creatives Japan in 2015 to create a community for Black creatives, and she now organizes events and manages online spaces to help people connect and collaborate. She co-hosts Kurly in Kansai, a series focused on the experiences of Black women in Japan (and which provides tons of great resources for anyone interested in visiting or living in the country). Ayana was one of the organizers of the Black Lives Matter peaceful march in Osaka in June of 2020, and in this discussion she shares her thoughts about issues relating to race and discrimination within Japan (as well as suggestions for how best to move forward--through providing better education and better access to information).
