Description
Japanese-American Film and TV Producer and Activist David Okada pays a visit to The Junk and Jam Hour at the Radio Free Brooklyn studio to graciously open up about his upbringing - which of all places began when his very American parents met in a Japanese Internment Camp, at the outset of WWII.
Also on topic is his fascinating early career in computer science and telecommunications, his service in the US Air Force and his journey into becoming a Real Estate salesperson and producer.
David also discusses his activist work with the Japanese American Citizens League, creative endeavors with the Asian American Film Lab, and his collection of art that he acquired with his departed wife who was a professional appraiser, curator, and author. More specifically - he shares a story about a painting of a warrior and mythical creature named Nyue.
Ultimately David shares a message of love, acceptance and embracement of our differences.
