“Oh My…” Those words will clearly be spoken by George Takei, the featured guest on the next Empathy Concert, Monday, March 22nd from 4 pm to 5 pm EDT. Hosts Elliott Masie and Telly Leung will host and interview George live on Zoom – with questions from our global audience of learning and business colleagues. Together they will explore Empathy, Acceptance, Racism, and Science Fiction, with a special focus on the rise in Asian American Hate Crimes.

George Takei is best known for his portrayal of Mr. Sulu in the acclaimed television and film series Star Trek. He's an actor, social justice activist, social media mega-power, and New York Times bestselling author. Takei originated the role of Sam Kimura and Ojii-Chan in the Broadway musical Allegiance, and is the subject of To Be Takei, a documentary on his life and career. Takei's acting career has spanned five decades.

You will also hear songs from co-host Telly Leung, who co-starred with George in Allegiance, and we are honored to feature performances and perspectives from Broadway stars Allie Trimm and Catherine Ricafort. Catherine will demonstrate Tap Dancing and her work on promoting Coding Skills for theater professionals.

We invite you, your colleagues, and family to spend an hour with amazing television and Broadway talents and learning leaders as they provide an uplifting set of perspectives on the role of Empathy in our lives.
