World Refugee Day isn’t just about stats—it’s about stories. Enter MIYAVI, the Japanese rockstar blending guitar riffs with global goodwill. As a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador since 2017, he’s using his stage to amplify refugee voices. 🎤
In a recent chat with CGTN, MIYAVI called humanitarian work his "fuel," stressing how influence can shape a better future. 💡 "When the economy goes down, we all suffer," he said, urging more support as global funding dips for critical aid programs.
From Tokyo to refugee camps, MIYAVI’s mission hits close to home. He shared heartwarming moments of jamming with kids in camps, proving music truly knows no borders. 🎶✨
Fun fact: He’s the first Japanese national to hold this UNHCR role. Talk about breaking strings *and* stereotypes! 🎸
