Friend, Community Organizer, & Leader, Kami was born and raised in the town of Wahiawā on the island of Oʻahu in the occupied Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Kami relocated to Ramaytush Ohlone ancestral lands after spending four years in Duwamish ancestral lands studying, working, and teaching. Kami’s professional and cultural work is influenced by Filipino grassroots organizations in the U.S. and in the Philippines. Kami is also a part of Kapwa Health Collective, a grassroots Filipinx health-centered organizing & education collective.

ABOUT:Kasamahan Co, (previously named Reclaiming FIlipinx Identity)  is a platform that not only amplifies voices of Filipinos in Hawai'i but is also a platform that serves to create stories that seeks to create sustainable outlets that showcases our cultures, contextualizes Filipinx narratives and prompts dialogues. Our conversation speak to diverse experiences, identities and talents that are often overlooked, supressed or erased. By building connections between community members with those in the diaspora, and homeland, we hope to foster the next revolutionaries across the industries.
