What is autonomy when #poverty decides for you?
Eagerly awaiting my publication exploring the myth of #meritocracy. My heartfelt thanks to the editorial staff.

Classical music should be a river flowing through every life, not a castle moat keeping most people out. To reclaim it for the working class is not an act of charity — it’s an act of justice.
That’s why I wrote #NovelBohemians

The Illusion of a Level Field
They say the Ivy League gates are open to all.
But some walk barefoot; others are chauffeured there.
Is it really merit, or simply a matter of distance?

Todai = #UTokyo —Japan’s flagship univ.
Meritocracy sings a duet—effort and privilege, never in equal measure.
Friendship fractured by exams, poverty, and the myth of fairness.
—from my mock trial novel

Beneath Tokyo’s electric sky and endless motion, who stops to see the youth curled in silence between the billboards?

In the shadows of Tokyo’s neon glow, my novel “Bohemians” tells a story of youth, poverty, and the fragile hope of Bach’s Gavotte echoing from a smartphone. Can beauty survive where survival is already a struggle?

Merit, they say, is the great equalizer.
But it whispers in accents of privilege, and wears shoes bought by someone else.

In a land where everyone is expected to blend in, inequality hides easily.

“Art of Asking”:
Protest is a way of asking.
Courtrooms are a way of asking.
Even a quiet letter that begins with “Dear Judge” is a way of asking.

I’m currently writing an article about the “art of asking” in America for a Japanese audience.
The bus seat, the lunch counter, the ballot box—
civil rights history is a map of places where ordinary people dared to ask for more.
