A huge thank you to the wonderful Hannah(soupgirlreads.com), who kindly looked over my Miyagi dialogue. She’s a sensitivity reader specializing in Japanese and Japanese diaspora representation, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t writing anything clumsy or off-key while still having fun with the parody. Her feedback was super on-point and I cannot recommend her enough.
