The African American Children’s Book Project presented at the Community College of Philadelphia, the 21st African American Children’s Book Fair. The two hours family event brought many acclaimed authors and illustrators that shared with children, parents, educators and librarians the storytelling of their books. The celebration of the culture -throughout the story of the books- is the most rewarding learning experience for the whole family. I was very excited to see the children eager to share with the authors and the illustrators their favorite subject to read. It was a very fun afternoon!

CAMP FOSTER, OKINAWA, Japan – Yuko Murayoshi assists a class attendee in properly donning a yukata during a traditional Japanese clothing class June 19 at the Marine and Family Programs building on Camp Foster, Okinawa. The class, which was sponsored by Marine Corps Community Services, Okinawa, taught attendees how to wear a yukata, a Japanese garment similar to the kimono that is made of thinner, lighter material to account for heat and humidity during summer months in Japan. “These classes not only teach them, but give special (knowledge and experience) to take back with them to introduce Japanese culture at home,” said Murayoshi. “When they (attend) the classes, they are very excited about continuing to keep that culture in their life as an American. They are willing to take it back home so they can tell their friends and family (they) went to Japan and know how to wear Japanese (garments) and participated in Japanese cultural events. We provide information so they can continue to learn and get involved.” Murayoshi is the instructor of the class, and a class coordinator with MCCS. (Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Janessa K.

This is myself in the beautiful city of Toledo, Spain. Always with my camera in hand and ready to frame “the present time” in a picture. In this historical place -UNESCO World Heritage Centre- I am surrounded by the calm of the river and the peaceful scene of nature. Connecting myself with mother earth energizes my body, mind and spirit.
Riding my bike is another of my especial hobbies. This sport compliments my exercise daily routine. I practice what I call “biking meditation.” Have you heard of that? During the rides with my husband, I am aware of everything that is happening around me. For instance, I like to feel the force of the wind on my face and hear the beautiful melody of the birds. Observing nature is just a pleasure to my eyes!
Professionally, I work as a librarian, and I do love my job. I am very interested in working with multi-ethnic communities. Learning about languages and cultures is one of my passions; and as you can see in my photographs, the concepts of integration, cross-cultural communication and diversity are reflected as an intangible subjects in my visual composition.
As a Peruvian-American, with a close relationship to the Portuguese and French cultures, I have to say that I love who I became culturally. My culture identity has grown so much that I can see the world from different lenses and perspectives. I do believe that learning and experiencing new ideas are the best way to grow. I have to say that, I am very comfortable navigating from one culture to another but also I like to challenge, myself, out of my comfort zone. In my opinion, that is the only way to discover new potential doors that need to be open.
Finally, “my home” is who I am and that part of me travels everywhere I go. No matter where I am in the world -if I am spiritually in peace- I have my home within myself.
