As children of Asian immigrants, we were taught at an early age to not speak out and accept things as they are. Ikigai Essentials is a platform to inspire and empower others, particularly Asian Americans who may have felt similar pressures to conform or stay silent. Life is too precious to remain silent, so we are hopeful that by taking a step forward we will be able to help reduce the stigma, promote understanding, and encourage open conversations about these important topics.

Our outreach to the community will be multifaceted. A weekly podcast with various guests talking about holistic health and mental wellbeing. Future collaborations with local non-profits, artists, and businesses.

It’s okay not to be okay.
