Deeply connecting with multicultural communities in Australia - Okiru Huddle Pod #49
What is it like growing up as a multicultural person in Australia? Liem and Jasper explore this topic with our guest, 22 year old Multicultural Advocate Kano Ravalji. Kano, is a multitalented speaker and sharp shooter from Melbourne's West. We are still unfolding our senese of identity and hope you can find value here by asking yourself the questions that Kano asked us back.

Okiru (起きる/ Get Up) is a Melbourne-based active streetwear brand that is influenced heavily by Japanese style and culture. Okiru was established by co-founders Gerald Prado and Lawrence Menor with the goal to create a message and movement focusing on physical and mental wellness. Okiru was first established in June 2019 through the joint love of design and creativity. During the build-up of Okiru, life's unforeseen circumstances had almost stopped us from establishing our brand. Okiru had evolved from being a creative outlet to now embodying the name; “Get Up”. We understand that people battle through mental and physical challenges every day, so our aim is to motivate people to push through difficult times and “Get Up” when they get knocked down. Through our own experiences, we believe in having the courage to begin, the strength to perform and the perseverance to keep going. Okiru represents believing in oneself and showing kindness to one another.
