The people of Japan have been devastated over the past couple months with extraordinarily terrifying natural disasters. Initially the news channels jumped all over the tragic events, responding with a great outpouring of aid. But as of recent, media coverage has dissipated. I'm not sure as to why, because the small country continues to get ravaged by one disaster after the next.
But it doesn't mean we can't do anything to help! Tonight I and my good friend/mentor James Lew attended a benefit concert to raise funds and awareness for the tsunami and earthquake victims in Japan. My homie Steve Terada and his group, Quest Crew, headlined the Thousand Hearts Japan Relief Benefit Show with talented artists such as Paul Dateh and Hiroshima.
It was a night filled with amazing performances and several Asian-American personalities, such as Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, my Wushu brother Mark Dacascos, and (my personal favorite) Tamlyn Tomita!
I've mentioned this in previous posts, but I really believe that we're all here in this world for a greater purpose. Each and every one of us can make a difference! Even if we touch one person's life with just a simple smile, that can make a lasting impression. We are more powerful than even we know!
