Rachel was recently profiled for the G7 Summit thanks to her many interesting insights and contributions to Hiroshima society. 
I first met Rachel when she was running a stunning little small Shokudo as an entrepreneur. Since then, she has worked on various peace and tourism projects as a show presenter and translator. She has become one of the main hosts of the local Kagura shows presenting this popular local performance to international audiences. https://www.g7hiroshima.go.jp/en/summit/hiroshima/column02/
