Lori Tsugawa Whaley
Lori Tsugawa Whaley is an author, inspirational speaker, and a descendant of the samurai warrior. She graduated with honors from Portland State University. Whaley, a baby boomer, struggled with being "different", and channeled her energies into understanding, and embracing her Japanese heritage. This journey forged a compassion to empower others to reach their God-given potential, and the driving force for her book, The Courage of a Samurai: Seven Sword-Sharp Principles for Success.
