“Aisha Fukushima is an activist because she is always present with whoever she is in front of. Presence takes work, compassion, and a deep love for self and others; Aisha has that. Her energy is captivating. Her artistry is inclusive and therefore she models for us the elements of liberation. Aisha's gift is teaching and healing, and it comes through in her voice and the voice she gives to others.”
