  • Share Your Hapa Story: Kimiko

    by 6 Degrees of Hapa
    "Growing up in Silicon Valley in the early 90's, a lot of different cultures were here, yet I seemed to be the only child of mixed cultural backgrounds and my parents were divorced. At my private school, THAT was unheard of! People would see me with my Hapa (Japanese, Irish and German) Mother, and then me, and ask, 'What are you?' In turn, I'd reply 'I'm a Kimiko.'"
