“Our Bahandi, Our Wealth” is a book about 25 Filipino/a/x Americans from different parts of the United States. Justine Villanueva interviewed all of the families involved, young and old, and bestowed upon me the honor of drawing them all for their book.
We started in 2023 and just found out the book is printed! Find it at Filipino festivals happening in the California-Bay Area this weekend for Filipino American History Month. Look for any Filipino bookshops with the book, or seek out Sawaga River Press or Justine!
