In Conversation With Jay Kuo
Where No Story Has Gone Before
Actor and social justice activist George Takei brings his uncanny eloquence and signature wit to BAM. In this very special evening, he shares the story of his Japanese-American family’s forced internment during World War II, a seemingly forgotten part of American history. He also takes audiences through his rise to celebrity as a sci-fi icon, his remarkable journey as social media mega power, and his passionate fight for LGBTQ rights and marriage equality in America—empowering others to beat the odds and make a difference.
Jay Kuo is the chief creative officer at the Social Edge and head of Team Takei, having worked with and advised Internet supernova George Takei since the inception of his social media presence. Kuo is the composer and lyricist for the Broadway musical Allegiance as well as an appellate litigator admitted to practice before the Ninth Circuit and US Supreme Court.
