How do we change our communities while sustaining our own wellness and the wellness of those around us. Nobuko Miyamoto, a survivor of Japanese Internment camp who went on to be a dancer, singer, songwriter and lifetime activist joins me in the first segment to discuss the importances of 'gaman' or endurance.

In the second segment, Tarabu Betserai Kirkland, joins me to talk about discipline through building intestinal fortitude and how to bloom where you're planted while doing both the me and the we work. 

Nobuko Miyamoto gives us a close and personal behind the scenes look at her lifetime of movement--on the dance floor, through stories and songs of resistance and through a lifetime of social justice activism.

"Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
