Here's everything you need to know about One Piece's Nami, the Straw Hat Pirates' expert navigator. Learn about key relationships, special abilities, backstory, and motivation, as well as what happened to her in ONE PIECE Season 1 and 2. The crew learns of Nami's past from her adoptive sister Nojiko: Nami and Nojiko were orphaned infants rescued from a war-torn kingdom and adopted by the Marine Bellemere, who raised them as her own.

Understanding the Context

On this podcast, Daniel H. Gillison Jr., CEO of NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness), brings important mental health topics to light, one conversation at a time. Through programs like NAMI Sharing Hope, NAMI Compartiendo Esperanza, and NAMI Chai & Chat, these conversations help build connection, reduce stigma, and remind people that they don't have to navigate their mental health journey alone. For Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July, NAMI honors her legacy by sharing community-specific resources and highlighting events across the country where people can gather, connect, and share about their experiences.
