#ncore2016

Here we go! I’m so excited to see my lovely friends and family @ncoreconference in New Orleans this year! These pictures from past years just reminded me of what a wonderful hub it has been to share, catch-up and learn. I’m especially excited to perform at the talent showcase and to help collectively lead some sessions with @nikkitaoliver @gabrielteodros @sagesense @wongweezy @mitzi.uehara.c hcl & Mia C White. Stay tuned! . . . #raptivist #raptivism #raptivismtour #aishafukushima #tourlife #ncore2018 #ncore2016 #neworleans #singer #vocalist #concert #indiemusic #workshop #emergentstrategy (at New Orleans, Louisiana)

Spotted this especially long truck of [perceived to be overwhelmingly] #whitemen parked outside the window where the conference (on race and ethnicity) was taking place. It felt strangely juxtaposed against the gender and racially diverse attendees of #NCORE2016... 😒 #ttninSF (a SF #latergram) (at Hilton San Francisco Union Square)

One of the best parts of #NCORE2016 was getting to catch up with my #SJTI roomie after 6 yrs! (at Hilton San Francisco Union Square)

Wonderful keynote speech by Reza Aslan: "Fear is impervious to data." By building relationships we can overcome bigotry. #NCORE2016

So I gotta get up early in the morning. Gotta get a hip hop history and politics of representation lesson from Davey D. #NCORE2016 #HipHop

An absolutely amazing keynote speech by Matika Wilbur (@matikawilbur)!! One of the many nuggets: "The past is always happening...the stories of our ancestors live on inside of us." #NCORE2016

"Upward Mobility" through Asian American and Pacific Islander leadership narratives with @sasakich @aloha_seoul Rowena Tomaneng @dawnleetu #NCORE2016
