Hi, <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s Mizuki. It has been almost 3 years since the last update on this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m really grateful that we still have many people visit Moon Rider 7 Project for the last 3 years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The biggest recent change in my life is Anna, our second daughter, joining us early last year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now we are a family of 4 members – full of happiness and laughters.:)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma, our first daughter, turned 3 years old and love exploring and trying new things on her own.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also talks a lot, and we enjoy our conversations with her very much.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due to the pandemic, Jeff stared working from home and so did I. Now we both spend more time together at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s very stressful and challenging that I cannot meet other family members who live outside Tokyo. At the same time, though, this pandemic has made me rethink the importance of the connection with family in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, I\u00a0 have great news and really want to share it with you on this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to\u00a0Josh Grisdale<\/a>,\u00a0my friend and the founder of <\/span>Accessible Japan<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0I had an exciting interview opportunity with BBC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BBC features a lot of news around Tokyo 2020, but they also want to focus beyond sports and hear especially the living environment of people with disabilities in Japan. <\/span><\/p>\n

I had shared my experiences and knowledge of education, employment, physical accessibility (building, restroom etc.) as well as the social benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last week,\u00a0 the text article and podcast were released. BBC Japan also released the Japanese translated version too. Check them out!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After those were released, some of my old friends and my colleagues contacted me saying “I found you on BBC!”. <\/span>It has been a very interesting and amazing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I haven’t done any disability advocate works after I became a mom, but I feel so privileged to talk with BBC this time. I truly thank Josh.:)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy the interview. See you in the next article!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
