Risa Morimoto- "You Are My Sunshine"

A special re-broadcast while we are away! On today's show we are joined by film Director and Producer, Risa Morimoto. Risa is also the founder and CEO of "Modern Aging," a foundation that focuses on innovative and holistic approaches and solutions to aging and caregiving. Risa's family also owns The Kura Barn, a homestyle Japanese restaurant in our hometown of Huntington, NY. Our talk with Risa was amazing, and culminated in us all singing and crying together. Please note this episode was recorded before the Coronavirus crisis. We truly hope you are all finding ways to cope with this incredibly difficult time.
