In this episode, I speak to the wonderful and talented Author, Jaime Atilano to talk about their book "Mala & The Mask Gold". Atilano is a non-binary immigrant from the Philippines and a vocal advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. We talk quite a bit about the book and how it explores siblinghood, identity, and Filipinx mythology. Along with that, we share cultural experiences as Filipinos from different regions and what those experiences meant to us as Filipinos in the United States. I hope you enjoy this conversation and please do check out Jaime on all their socials via @JaimeMartinKo.
