Entangled Thriving - with Maya Motoi
We sat down with Maya Motoi, an unschooled half “Japanese” half Dutch "Canadian" person who is queer, an anarchist, and a feminist who currently lives in Japan. We heard their story about moving solo from Japan to Vancouver at age 13, nerded out about Japanese culture, specifically animation, and the radical alternatives in Japan. The importance of listening to your gut, being present with all the beauty, and picking the right “fruit!” We dove into the intersections of work, social justice, sitting in the discomfort, and finding ways to thrive together in a capitalist world. “I’ve always been a really big fan of listening to other peoples stories” - Maya Motoi
