Another wonderful year engaging in insightful discussions at the Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles’ AAPI Community Leaders Luncheon.
“Consul General Kenko Sone delivered remarks at the beginning of the program and offered a toast with hopes for the continued deepening of friendship among the various Asian communities in the region. […] The event ended with a group photo in the Japanese garden just outside the banquet room, originally built when the hotel was under Japanese ownership as the New Otani Hotel and Garden.” - from Alexander Kim’s post.
Truly fortunate to share another day among great and caring minds. I genuinely enjoyed their community leaders luncheon back in 2023, now 2025, and very looking forward to the nexts. Many thanks to Consulate General Kenko Sone, Mrs. Sone, and the @japanconsulatela team for bringing such delightful energy to our communities.

A beautiful night at the first @facfilmfestival created by the dedicated and talented team at @filamcreative 📣
Witnessing @markjlabella journey from the start and now being able to immerse in the great things that you do for the community is truly amazing. Mark, your presence makes my heart smile a little brighter each time, knowing that our community is blessed with someone who’s in it for the right reasons. I love you & will always support the things that you do.
Side note, Mark’s celebrity chef husband @chefmarvz just opened his very own restaurant in LA @hungryturtlela and I think I’m getting hungry! 🐢
