Her story is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. We believe it is crucial to document and share the stories of martial arts pioneers and significant achievers who have made noteworthy contributions to both Asian and American history. The museum's growing library of biographical films, now totaling nearly 30, which can be seen on Roku and other media outlets, is a testament to our commitment to preserving and celebrating these important legacies."

Our museum is dedicated to filling this gap and ensuring that their stories are told."
