Fuji TV Visits PS 53

Fuji TV requested an interview as they wanted to see what roles I am doing to work towards Mrs. Obama's Let's Move! initiative. This inquiry took place after they learned I attended the White House South Lawn Let's Move! launch last year and that ever since I have been working on projects geared to ending childhood obesity by 2015.

As you know, since October I have been working as a Wellness in the Schools Resident Cook helping prepare real, healthy food to children on a daily basis. It was strange that this particular morning meant being miked and filmed for the entire day, especially while trying to prepare wraps for 800 children at PS 53, but things went exceptionally well. It was an action packed day for sure, but with all the help of all the staff of PS 53 it proved successful! Check out the link that aired in Japan, no need to brush up on your Japanese, all interviews are in English.

Let's Move!
