With the sensibilities and skills she acquired from her close-knit extended family and the dynamic ethnic mix of the islands, Matsukawa was prepared for every opportunity that came her way. But she makes it clear that, for her, it was never just about a career, it was about a community. She became a voice for the Japanese Americans who suffered past injustices and a pathfinder for the aspiring Asian American journalists trying to break into the news business. \u003ci\u003eBeing There\u003c\/i\u003e is a story about an American Dream that Lori Matsukawa has tried to share with everyone. -- David Horsey, syndicated political cartoonist and two-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Matsukawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chin Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781634051064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatsukawa, Lori:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eLori Matsukawa\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning broadcast journalist and children's book author.
