Kumagai's

belief in

education in association

with entertainment is incorporated into each client she takes on and

the

above list is no

exception. She also did

public relations for the documentary, “Straight from the Streets”

which

received a

Moxie Award from the Santa Monica

Film Festival, garnered a distribution deal which is now

being

incorporated

as required studies in various school

systems. This feature length documentary, five years

in the

making,

begins with the Los Angeles uprising in 1992 and

concludes with the historic Million Man March of

1995.

the Independent Living Project of the City

underprivileged children in the Inner

City.

Her first Los Angeles public relations client was Cynthia Fujikawa whose father Jerry Fujikawa was a recurring

character “Whiplash Wang” in the long-running TV series, M*A*S*H. Her “Old Man River” one-woman play

brought the

Japanese Relocation Center story to the forefront of personal discovery for today’s second and

third generation

Japanese American children to understand what their parents have buried in shame – learning

details which were

never openly discussed, in a cultural obstacle of never forgetting the past but trying to

embrace a new future.

Expanding her specialization in multi-cultural clients to healing industries through proactive efforts in helping to

develop confrontation and tolerance: from the bi-coastal Urban Sports radio program, Celebrity Sports Talk -

where the

sports world meets Hollywood, with guests which have included veteran broadcasters Stu Lantz and
