Traveling down to San Diego with my colleagues and dear friends, Bridget Crenshaw Mabunga and Marie Hoffmann, to celebrate Filipino American History Month was so much fun. I had such a wonderful time at the Literasians event, organized by Jennifer Derilo and Henry Aronson at Southwestern College. I read from, “The C Word,” the opening of an essay I am working on concerning Catholic Church and faith. The panel was a lot of fun, though I found myself a bit tongue tied at points and overwhelmed in the presence of M. Evelina Galang, herself. Fellow panel member, Donna Miscolta, blogs about FilAmFest 2013 here.
