On today's podcast our guest is Jason Y. Lee an accomplished Producer and Director, successful entrepreneur and founder of Jubilee Media, a digital agency, social enterprise and movement of young change-makers, which now has a social following of over 8 million. Jubilee’s tagline is ‘Feel more. Think more. See more in others’. their goal is to create a movement of empathy and connection. Jason believes we are all inextricably linked and want to live for something deeper. Living for empathy and human good is a resilient vision and one that is worthy of pursuit.

Today we’re visiting Marisa Hamamoto, Marisa is a leader, artist, speaker and founder of Infinite Flow. Infinite Flow aims to empower people through dance and storytelling. Having survived a stroke, multiple sexual assaults, body shaming, PTSD, and discrimination as an Asian American, Marisa developed deep empathy towards those who are excluded. This eventually led her to start Infinite Flow in 2015 which has become an award-winning Los Angeles-based nonprofit and professional dance company that employs dancers with and without disabilities. Her mission is to use dance as a catalyst to dismantle biases and promote inclusion in greater society.

61 million adults in the United States live with a disability. 1 in 4 adults in the United States has some type of disability. These come with various barriers that may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
Disability inclusion is still a huge issue we need to address. Many people experiencing a disability in the United States believe the ‘Americans With Disabilities Act’ needs a recalibration as it currently only offers minimum support and has barely any official enforcement. Inclusive private Organisations and initiatives are also key and Marisa Is Truly leading the way with what she is modeling with Infinite Flow
