full bio 
Mostly Water

A poetry collection exploring Mixed Black and Japanese identity, memory, and belonging.

Shaped by life between the U.S. and Japan, Mostly Water refuses the math of halves and quarters and welcomes in abundance.

We are, after all, mostly water — fluid, uncontainable, beyond measure.

MUSIC

“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.”

— Dr. Lumas Helaire, Annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium Chair, University of Michigan
