Going to be speaking this weekend for Kamayan Coalition’s 2day event bridging celebrating LGBTQ FilAm History Month. I will be complicating nationalist identities from an Indigenous perspective around gender, gender identity, & sexuality.

Got honored for 10yrs of working at UCSD (though Ive actually worked longer). Started the annual Asian & Pacific Islander American Heritage Celebration (May) as... an undergraduate intern at the UCSD Cross-Cultural Center with the guidance & love of Edwina Welch & PiNay Nancy Mags. Shout out to UCSD Ethnic Studies Department, UCSD Pan-Asian Staff Association, & other departments who helped launch & maintain it for 13yrs. From book talks, critical dialogues around API Studies, to food & film showings, & back then, we had a student vs staff Iron Chef with ES faculty judges. See more
