June 20 marks World Refugee Day, a time to celebrate unity and compassion around the globe. This special day reminds us that every melody and every act of kindness can spark change.
Japanese rock star and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador MIYAVI is using his incredible musical talent as a force for good. In a recent interview, he shared, "It's also the influential power and how you use that power for the community, for the world, for the future." His words remind us that humanitarian work isn’t just about music—it’s about using our abilities to make a positive impact. 🎶
He also touched on the challenges humanitarian organizations face today, especially when global funding dips during tougher economic times. MIYAVI’s message is a call to action: in times of hardship, we all need to support one another. 🤝
As the first Japanese national appointed as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador in 2017, MIYAVI has experienced firsthand the transformative power of music. His visit to a refugee camp, where his tunes brought smiles to children’s faces, is a heartwarming reminder that a simple song can brighten even the darkest moments. ❤️
Let’s celebrate World Refugee Day by uniting through music and compassion, and by remembering that every small effort makes a difference.
