I'm Kenji from Brazil, São Paulo. I love dancing, playing games, and spending time with friends. A curious fact about me is that I have always studied at a Soka institution. Because of this, I have experienced what Soka education is and the values that we can create from it. During high school, I had the opportunity to develop a book that focused on minorities in Brazil. This experience was crucial to foster an understanding of privilege and power. My identity is built on my nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, passions, hobbies, etc. I decided to study Japanese for my language class to become closer to my roots. I am Japanese; however, I do not know the culture and language. Learning Japanese allows me to be closer to my Japanese side and understand the culture. Finally, I am still discovering my identity, but having the opportunity to be here at SUA and work for the DEI Office is an excellent support for my journey.
