Episode 7 - Zara Espinoza

On this jam-packed episode of Speaking Nikkei, we get a chance to chat with Zara Espinoza (pronouns: they/them, she/her, ze/zir). We talk about Zara's experiences growing up as an multiethnic international adoptee in a multiracial/multicultural family (including Zara's Mexican American heritage) in the Midwest, hip-hop culture and Zara's breakdancing career, getting the opportunity to live and work for the government education system in Japan, some perspective and practice of Zara's equity and justice work as a queer non-binary femme person of color working in corporate tech and non-profit industries, and Zara's thoughts how we can support one another while adapting to change by truly being in community together. We're excited to begin to learn more about Zara's unique life experiences, including getting below the surface into the mixed multitudes of intersectionality that are a part of Zara's Wonder Woman origin story.
