“This is a really unique livestream centered around family and culture,” said Audrey Mika, “I filmed part of my set with my mom and sister, and being able to share our Japanese roots on this platform is really special to me. I hope this shows everyone you can chase your dreams, stay true to yourself, and be proud of who you are in the process.”
Donations from the concert will go to the Asian Mental Health Collective, an organization that aims to destigmatize mental health issues within the Asian community in the United States.
The concert will also spotlight other Asian-American organizations: The Vietnamese American Community Center of the East Bay and MAMA Los Angeles. – Rappler.com
