The petite 41-year-old mother of two grew up in a small town in Japan where she
faced countless obstacles including bullying, physical and sexual abuse, and homelessness.

Juri is a true survivor. She has been able to push aside dark memories and is speaking
out, telling her life story as an inspirational lesson for others. She was bullied at
school and abused at home between ages 8 and 13 when she escaped. She had to run
from that state of emergency: Who would believe a teenager’s accusations against
her father, a trusted town official?
