Kindness Is…Blog
“Seima 125.”
125 years ago, my grandpa, Seima Munemitsu, was born in Japan and later immigrated to America, where he became a farmer and was unjustly interned during WWII. Despite everything, he never became bitter. He was kind, hardworking, and loved by his community.
Today, he'd be amazed by how far Japanese Americans have come—seeing sushi everywhere, Japanese faces on TV and in sports, and players like Shohei Ohtani in the World Series. Grandpa never talked about the wrongs he faced, but he would be proud to see his story still inspiring others. Happy 125, Grandpa—thank you for everything.

The Women Who Shaped Me and American History
March is Women’s History Month! It started out as a week-long celebration in 1982 and grew to a whole week of honoring women in 1987, authorized by the U.S. Congress. Better late than never, in this month-long recognition of the significant impact women have made throughout U.S. history certainly, I want to recognize the many women who made history in the true story of The Kindness of Color.
The Kindness of Color all started with story-telling and we want to continue to share kindness through this collection of writing!
Here we will share updates on the book, and new stories - yours and ours - as together we cultivate kindness.
