CURRENT MISSION

Healing

ABOUT ME

Montrealer-Torontonian-Filipina.. Flexitarian. Challenge-cooking-lover ., I'm constantly trying to work towards how I can find healing through self-love and collective love and delicious food. Food is medicine!

I'm also into film-making and pianofiddling. I'd like be a farmer's market vendor selling Filipino food when I'm 55.

I feel privileged to come from a working-class background. I am a witness to and beneficiary of the vibrant love and struggles of my resilient care-giving migrant parents. A great deal of the things I think about and do - in school, out of school, in work, out of work - reflect my deep love for the many of us facing inter-connected struggles for a more magical world!
