In 2021, the fourth Okaeri Conference was held virtually for the first time, and close to 300 people attended 33 workshops and/or affinity groups. The virtual format allowed people to join from around the world— people came from at least 17 states around the US and 5 foreign locations, including Peru, Canada, Singapore, Japan and Korea.
But too many LGBTQ+ Nikkei are still estranged from our families and the Nikkei community. The need for acceptance, healing and the undoing of homophobia and transphobia continues. Join us for an inclusive Nikkei community at Okaeri.
Okaeri is an opportunity for you to:
- Connect with LGBTQ+ Nikkei and allies
- Find support, resources and information
- Learn how Nikkei have embraced their LGBTQ+ family members
