💌 Welcome to TFAW Letters — PenPal (Off-Season) Edition — from The Filipino American Woman Project!

Between now and AAPI Heritage Month, please enjoy the following:

  • Free Subscribers will continue to receive the free version of our newsletter, which may include BTS Content + previews of paid content

  • TFAW PenPals & First Readers will continue to receive exclusive content such as writer’s commentary and audio commentary of upcoming letters.

Why “PenPal” Edition?

Each letter is woven with heart, reflection, and truth thanks to our private conversations. But most of all, it takes time to share these truths and craft our letters. Hence, the off-season. That said, is there one thing you’re ready to say? We’re here to listen. 💛 Subscribe now to take your next steps.



🗓 Published letters will return in May 2026 for AAPI Heritage Month!

Like last year, your host Jen Amos will read fictionalized letters that have been woven with heart, reflection, and truth—to honor your stories while protecting your privacy.

It all begins with one line: “If I could say one thing…”

Because sometimes, one thing is all we need to take up a little more space. 💛

Stay tuned!
