I am calling out to create a circle of ASIAN identified brxthers & sxsters who would like to join me in an anti-racism alliance activist group. To share our stories, share educational resources, and grow from the roots of our diverse heritage so that we can understand how to step into this collective revolution from an informed personal space of decolonized wholeness.
Please join this initiating call if you identify as an "Asian" person, even if you have reservations about that racial term. In joining the call you are committed to actively participate and share your experiences to grow, heal, decolonize, and stand-up for the collective.
This call is a meet-up to discuss your current social commitment to disarm white supremacy, racism, and systematic oppression so that we can come from an informed, authentic expression of asian activism.
We will discuss Asian lineages, personal experiences, self-reflection resources, to co-create a safe space to explore how to support each other in this cause, and honour each individual's expression of revolution.
My name is Kimiko Tao Fujimoto, born in California, but now a dual citizen and resident of Montreal, Quebec. I am a Yonsei (4th generational Japanese American), who also bi-racially French Canadian Quebecois. I am a heterosexual, cisgendered, spiritual revolutionary. My advocacy is on a soul’s ability to self-determine oneself in this life. I serve the collective with artful passion, and in sacred partnership with the earth. I majored in post-colonial literature, and while teaching yoga for 14 years, I’ve been a spiritualist for 40 years. I have now recommitted my efforts to creating alliances that give voice, sacred space, and personal stories precedence in our ability to be activists and artists. I believe we must hold space for diversity to thrive within the concepts of intersectional inclusivity. I am committed to a global exchange that all honours all dimensions of reality, from an informed, authentic space of decolonized wholeness. My next collaborative project is called : YOUR COLOURFUL STORIES
This meeting is an open-ended conversation that will be moderated as a group exchange.
The meeting will be recorded. However it will not be sent unless you agree to strict confidentiality if you can not attend live. Email if you really want to be part of the conversation but can’t make it. Otherwise LIVE presence is paramount.
Thank You for your presence,
Kimiko Tao Fujimoto
