A movement to better overall health geared towards the Pan-Asian community but ultimately to all that can benefit. 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 I am hopeful that by taking a step forward I am able to help reduce the stigma, promote understanding, and encourage open conversations about these important topics.
