Today, I would like to introduce you to my wonderful guest - Shoko Doherty. Her two worlds are Japan and Wales.
Shoko is a CEO of Celtic English Academy, a British council accredited English language school in Cardiff.
She is originally from Omuta, Fukuoka coal mining region of Japan.
Shoko is educated in both Japan and Wales and has a music degree from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. She has a great interest in music, heritage, and culture of Wales and a strong passion for strengthening the links between these two countries.
Shoko is deeply committed to advocating for a sustainable future for the next generations by championing diversity, wellbeing, fairness, inclusivity and flexibility.
She is a mum and has three children aged 12, 10, and two.
Along the way we talk about her journey, how it all started, about culture shock, both for her while settling in in Wales and for her Welsh husband on his visits to Japan. We discuss languages, food, children and talk about identity.
This is such a delightful conversation which I enjoyed so much. If a conversation could taste of anything, this one tastes of the most comforting Japanese miso soup, which I also LOVE!
I am sure that you will enjoy tuning in to this beautiful and open-hearted conversation!
