WWII Stories From Japanese Americans Captured in New Book - NBC News.com
My article for NBC Asian America
This is not a book about life in the camps. Rather, this is a book about the Constitution, freedom, and the triumph of Japanese Americans as a community during a time of racial prejudice and wartime hysteria. It is semi-autobiographical, and tells Mori's personal stories as well as those told to him—from the young Nisei men who tried to enlist and found that they had been reclassified as "enemy aliens ineligible for service," to those who sought redress after the war to make sure this would never happen to anyone else again.WWII Stories From Japanese Americans Captured in New Book - NBC News.com

The Rise of the Asian-American Blog: Ones to Watch in 2015 - NBC News.com
One of the oldest Asian-American blogs in the country, AARisings, shut down this month after 25 years. The site, born of a record label that later transformed to a general Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) entertainment hub, came to an end when the founder, Nelson Wong, began to see his audience slip away to social media....but several more have picked up Wong's torch and carry it forward. Here are the blogs to follow in 2015:

My article for NBC Asian America on Mochitsuki!
The small, pounded rice cakes -- eaten as a sweet dessert and enjoyed as a way to preserve rice through the year -- are easy for most urbanites in Japan to find at their corner mochi shop. But for many Japanese Americans, making mochi the old fashioned way offers a chance to connect with their heritage, teach their children about cultural traditions, and make enough mochi to last the year.Sweet Treats: Mochi Making at Family-Owned Koda Farms - NBC News.com
