If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:
How are you contributing to Filipino American History today?
This letter is for anyone who has ever felt lost in the search for cultural belonging—especially during Filipino American History Month.
Jen begins with a candid reading of her letter, as if she’s speaking directly to our First Readers. She contemplates the difference between longing for lost history and honoring the living history already around us. Whether acknowledging passive observation, caretakers we take for granted, or having empathy for the movers and shakers of our Filipino community today, this letter offers an invitation to get involved.
If you’ve ever romanticized your search for identity, overlooked those already preserving our stories, or waited too long to show appreciation, this one’s for you.
