After the U.S.-Japan Council Annual Conference in Hollywood, Susan visits the Torrance location of the eyewear store JINS with Lynda Gomi and Kazu Gomi. The Gomis share their experiences as an interracial couple, raising a bicultural and bilingual family in Japan and moving to the United States. A blonde woman from the Midwest, Lynda speaks about her time as an English teacher and working mother, and Kazu reflects on his work as a leader of a global communications and technology company. Susan reflects on her own background as the daughter of an interracial couple and admires the Gomis' perseverance to instill in their children a sense of community and tradition.

Surrounded by the wide selection of colors and styles of glasses at JINS, the Gomis tried on a few pairs with the help of Paula Sun, the JINS Los Angeles District Manager. JINS is a Japanese eyewear company with five locations in the US and many more across Asia, and customers can shop online as well. Although they are sometimes compared to the American eyewear store Warby Parker, JINS stands out because of their excellent customer service, competitive prices, and charitable causes. In line with their mission statement "to make the world a better place to see," customers can donate $5 to one of several Cases for Causes nonprofit organizations in exchange for a special glasses case, including one adorned with cherry blossoms that supports Japanese and Japanese American cultural heritage organizations. Recently having moved from New York, Lynda and Kazu now live in San Jose, and they were excited to hear that JINS also has a location there.
