Live from NYC it’s Perry Yung! I love seeing my friends when I travel. Perry and I catch up in a cafe on the Upper West Side on a chilly NYC day.

Perry is a true activist and artist. From shakuhachi flute mastery to an actor on screen he inspires in so many ways. Best known as Father Jun on the hit show Warrior, he also keeps busy advocating for social justice . We discuss the challenges of the survival of art while the current administration has slashed funding and ways to learn how you can get involved.

Perry has inspiring projects in the works which you should check out: Lucky FM2 in NYC on May 21-31 in honor of AANHPI Heritage Month. Tickets on sale now at La MaMa | Experimental Theatre Club in New York

His newest film: Bunny Lovr: bunnylovr.utopia.film

You can also support by tuning into tracks of his relaxing shakuhachi flute music: Bamboo, by Perry Yung
