"You Are Valid"

Immigrantly family, today I’ll be chatting with Mari Uchida. She is a photographer, director, a fiercely creative artist whose work has been seen in the New York Times, Time Out New York, The Lincoln Center of Performing Arts, Broadway World, and other platforms. Her subjects are photographed against varied backdrops, from city streets to the performing stage.  She uses photography to highlight people left out of the frame. We spoke about the art of photography, why she chose it, and why her craft has led her to projects, including the inaugural Broadway Asian Men calendar “Unapologetically Asian” with East Side Stories and Collaborazians.   Join the conversation: Instagram | Twitter |  Living in New Jersey is about to become more affordable under the new ANCHOR property tax relief program created by Governor Murphy and the Legislature. The State will soon deliver over $2 billion in tax relief to more than two million homeowners and renters. Eligible New Jerseyans can receive up to $1,500.
