"I'm a young Black man from an English-speaking background, passionate about building real connections with Japanese people and culture. What began as a love for Japanese culture grew into a deeper appreciation for the language, traditions, and values like harmony and respect. I'm learning Japanese step by step, and I’m excited to share my culture while learning yours. Whether it’s through conversation, exploring local customs, or just laughing over mispronounced kanji—I’m here for the real, human connection. Let's build bridges between cultures, one genuine moment at a time
