Meet Miyamoto Eriana 

Miyamoto, who was born to a Black American father and Japanese mother in Nagasaki, beat out 44 contestants to win a spot to represent Japan in the Miss Universe Pageant. She is the first ever Afro-Asian to represent Japan. “I thought, ‘I wonder if a hafu like me would be okay,’ and had insecurities,” Miyamoto said. “I think the world pageant will be a bit more vigorous, but I want to be myself and try my best.” She studied abroad in America and returned to Japan after graduating from college. Her hobbies include working with tools and motorcycles.

Black girls taking over the world!

The Streets of San Francisco. 30 Days. 1000 Photos. here in SF.

Hey Tumblr!

Heading out on the streets of this great city! This is going to be intense! I can’t wait!

Still in that fundraiser flow. Raised enough for a storage for my bag. Creating a 200-page photo adventure book with 1000 photos along with stories from experience

I keep getting emails from PR firms telling me that for X amount of money they can help make this Kickstarter big. Yeah, ummm, no.

I need your help tho! 

Gotta dollar? Give it to me, yo! Kidding, but seriously I’d love to have your support if you have a buck to spare. It’s as close as it gets to having you here, without actually having you here. Like a 30-day pajama party on the streets of SF, but not. 

Give at least $1 (4 quarters; 10 dimes; 20 nickels; 100 zinc pennies) and I’ll send you a San Francisco postcard with a lil thank you note or draw you a little doodle or both on the back. You can’t beat that 👾! Okay, you can, but play along…entertain the idea that someone might want a post card from San Fran with a thank you note from some random dude they’ve probably never met. It’ll make my day and you’ll get a postcard with a mediocre doodle and thank you from me. Cool, right? Right?!?

Don’t have a buck to spare but still want a post card with the doodle and/or thank you note from the this random dude you’ve never met? You got it. Reblog this (cause sharing is caring, yes?). Then send me a message and I’ll make sure you get a post card. I hope you hang it on your fridge or frame it or do whatever you do with postcards from random strangers, I’d be honored. 

Thanks,

“From January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015; he visited 33 different cities, stayed with over 50 hosts, met hundreds of people, heard thousands of stories, and took thousands of photos.”
