Celebrated Filipino American History Month feeding my body some delicious food at the #EatPlayMove Filipino Food Festival (volunteer organized event!), and then feeding my soul at the Katipunan Poetry Slam. Had the honor of being one of the audience judges to score the poets. Was blown away by everyone and hearing their own experience through spoken word poetry! Proud and inspired by the local Filipinx in the community for all the efforts they put into sharing our culture with everyone. #FAHM #KPS2018 (at Filipino American Community of Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfsfMxlpP8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ki94nmxj1mat
