Janet Li is the amazing owner of SekWuMJ Social. A Hong Kong native, she came to the US when at 10.

Janet remembers watching her aunties and grandparents played mahjong with friends and neighbors for fun and socialization. She brings mahjong to the community because it can bring people together, connecting in wellness and mental health.

"People need to have human interaction more than ever as our world is evolving in technology advancements .

We need real human communication and mahjong is a great way because it encompasses talking with other players, thinking by pattern recognition, feeling of the tiles, sounds of tiles shuffling. These can never be replaced and I feel that’s why is important to do it now and forward." - Janet Li

Mahjong is an art, cultural and intellectual process that should be preserved and passed on generations to come.

"Between games, we quietly listened to the melodic shuffling of the smooth tiles clinking against each other, thought to echo the sound of sparrows.

Mah-jongg is the name of a bird in Chinese, the language of the country where the game was popularized in 1880 — though some form of it has been played there since the 1300s." - The Many Benefits of Playing Mah-jongg by Brahna Yassky

Mahjong is always played in groups of 4!
