  • Miss World Japan, 2016, Priyanka Yoshikawa shares her journey of being a Hafu in Japan's homogenous society. Rising above prejudices and finding her true balance to celebrate the cultural diversity of the two countries she is proud to represent -Japan & India and sharing her identity as a human.
     
    Priyanka Yoshikawa is the first mixed heritage woman to be crowned Miss World Japan. A role model for youth, Priyanka didn’t let bullying in Japan due to her ethnicity stop her from pursuing her dreams and passion for modeling. Born in Tokyo, raised in California and in India until the age of 9, Priyanka is rooted in the cultural heritage of both India and Japan, is a Visit Kyoto ambassador, and aims to build a deeper bond between the two countries through tourism. As part of her humanitarian work, she is an ambassador for Smile Asia to promote treatment of facial deformities in children, and for the Balipara Foundation working for sustainable community development in the Eastern Himalayas. In 2017, Priyanka initiated her own enterprise ReR Co., Ltd. where she has pioneered content marketing and involves key influencers from across 117 countries across the globe. She hopes to be a successful entrepreneur and a key influencer of change in Japan and the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      No she’s wrong. You’re country and blood is the foundation to you’re identity.The mere fact that she’s doing this ted talk and not other another miss japan is because of her racial background, so you’re blood and your country is THE foundation of your identity.

    I can feel for her as being visited Japan few times and heard so many stories about the Japanese society I would easily say that closing the Japan for 200 years to other Japan has become monolith and sick society and the sickness is growing day by day and they are not accepting it. Sorry to say I have many friends in Japan but its professional relationship. No outsiders can fit into that society as they won't accept you easily and will keep reminding you every time. This girl had courage so she succeeded

    Tremendously pretty and smart, who, despite the “setbacks” she suffered in her childhood, has continued forward with courage and determination and has triumphed.
    She is an example of the beauty of multiraciality in the world of art, sports and modeling, like many other examples: Bob Marley, Keanu Reeves, Brian Tee, Johnny Depp, Bruce Lee, Hideko Irabu, Jacqui Chan, Naomi Osaka, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ariana Miyamoto, Naomi Campbell, Kristine Musademba, Cher, etc...
