今回は、コミックを通して、社会へメッセージを伝え続けるハワイのCartoon artist、イラストレーターとして活躍する、ロイ・チャングさんとズームでお話しした様子をお届けします。彼は認知症の母親の介護を３ー４年してきましたが、その間、自分のセルフケアについて考えさせられたとのこと。お母さんは残念ながら他界してしまいましたが、自分の意見やストーリーをクリエイティブに発信する大切さについてお話しいただきました。また現在、彼がアートを通じて参加中のアルツハイマーアソシエーションの募金活動についてもお話を伺います。On this episode of my podcast, I’d like to share a zoom interview with Roy Chang, an art teacher, illustrator and the cartoon artist known for his editorial in Hawaii’s largest non-daily newspaper, Midweek. He lost his mother to Alzheimer and was her caretaker for 3- 4 years. He talks about the need and importance for self-care while being the caretaker for your family. What helped him get through the day was his love for art. He’s going to talk about his career, his current fundraising activity for Alzheimer Association, and the importance of sharing your story with the world by being true to yourself. Here's the link to his fundraiser. It ends on June 20, so hurry!
