One Step With Raihanna Azwar

In our second episode, we take one step with Kinari Tani. Kinari shares what it was like growing up as a young half-Japanese, half-African-American woman in both America and Japan. From experiencing microaggressions due to her identity and not fitting into societal beauty standards, to truly feeling comfortable in her skin, she talks about how she stays true to herself and derives strength from family and friends.

In our very first episode, we take one step with Amirah Jamal. This episode centres around how she eventually learned to embrace her multi-faceted identity, in terms of ethnicity as well as her hobbies and interests. From uneasiness towards the little "Malay" box on school forms to watching music videos for hours on end in order to fit in with her school friends, she delves into how she discovered that she is perfectly worthy of acceptance, friendship and love just the way she is.
