Hailing from the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, Eri is a magical sea turtle learning to flow with the currents of the local Bay Area communities. As a child of 1st and 2nd generation Japanese immigrants in Hawaiʻi, Eri’s passion for justice is deeply rooted in aloha ʻāina (love for the land). Eri is one of the lead organizers of the #Liberate23rdAve campaign to purchase the mixed-use, commercial and residential building that they live and work out of.
