Help Emi Share Her Art and Reconnect with Roots

Hi.

I'm Emi :)

If you got to this page, you most likely know WHO I am and WHAT I am about.

You probably know that I am an ambitious creative entrepreneur; a movement artist, educator, facilitator, mentor, and mama who is actively building a dream life rooted in her truest essence and artistry.

As I grow more in myself, my aspiration is to inspire others to embrace their own journey of rooting deep into their best selves-- to live their best lives. I especially love to see this transformation in creatives-- since we are the ones who are the true change makers. We create and in doing so we encourage others to live a life of authentic creativity.

But this long, intentional journey, although deeply personal, cannot be walked individually. Already on my path, I have been blessed to have the support, inspiration, accountability, graciousness, and kindness of others. I am where I am today because my community has been there to hold my hand at so many points throughout my life. Every action has had impact.

And now I am at another point in my life where I need to rely on my community to help me make a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity come to fruition.

I have just been offered a Once-in-a Lifetime ARTISTIC opportunity...

- to create & perform a collaborative dance piece with the Dallas College Choral Society

-perform 4X on tour throughout Korea in JUNE 2025

-visit Japan (my motherland) & reconnect with family

As a performing artist, this is HUGE not only for the experience but also the exposure; to be able to share my artistry with more people.

And beyond just the ART:

Returning to Japan has been on my heart for many, many years. I just couldn't find the "right time" and it always felt "out of touch." BUT I really want to connect to my family. My father is getting older and he is my only living link to my family overseas. I don't want to just let the connection fade.

This trip represents more than travel. It's about artistic growth, cultural connection, and honoring my personal journey.

As a creative who believes in transformative art, I know these moments shape not just my path, but inspire others to embrace their own authentic creativity.

I can't do this alone. Your support will help make this dream a reality.

Every contribution brings me closer to sharing my art, reconnecting with my roots, and continuing to grow as an artist and human.

If you feel compelled to support and contribute a little something to help me-- I would be so appreciative.

Thank you so very much.

Having just turned 40 on NOV 16th, I'm taking this time to really set some strong intentions for this decade. It's time to continue deepening my connection to myself. This means for me to indulge in opportunities like this to not just check off my bucket list but to really fulfill the things that are most meaningful to me. And in some small way, I hope I encourage you to pursue something meaningful for YOU and when that happens, I will be honored to help.
