Okaeri Voices, started in 2018, is an archival video program showcasing the voices of LGBTQ+ Nikkei, parents, and allies. The program has two branches: (1) the 60+ branch, which focuses on capturing the stories of pioneers and leaders in the Nikkei LGBTQ+ community over the age of 60; and (2) NextGen, which focuses on dialogue between younger LGBTQ+ Nikkei on topics of identity, acceptance, and community. View the full video archive on the Okaeri YouTube channel!
