One of my youngest friends, Akemi Takashi, daughter of my former coworker and dear friend Kathy Takahashi, is a very big deal today in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
If you’re a filmmaker looking for a good, inspiring story, you won’t find a more engaging youngster than Akemi.
When Kathy worked with me, I would hear new, memorable Akemi stories every week, and it doesn’t surprise me at all to see her changing the world already… at only five years old.
God bless the Takahashis.
“Except selling drugs.”
Indeed!
What a wonderful story! Thanks for posting it, Jeffrey!
More like this lovely little girl, please. May God continue to bless Akemi!
How fabulous! I’m passing the link along. We all need a little good news these days!
This story brought me tears. What a good girl.
Wow, that’s thoroughly impressive. A 5 year old! I’m going to have to have kids….
