"Acclaimed anti-racism and anti-bullying diversity author and educator Kinota Braithwaite, renowned for his TV appearances on NHK World Japan, DW International News, and Ohayo Nippon, has earned recognition from the US Embassy Council for Diversity and Inclusion for his impactful contributions.
His work against racism and bullying has been featured in Tokyo Weekender, Toyokezai, Asahi Newspaper for Elementary School Students, InTouch Magazine, and the CCCJ magazine, underscoring his influence in these critical areas.
