"My children aren't half Athabascan or half Filipino. They're 100% Filipino & 100% Athabascan...when we really think about it, it doesn't make sense that me plus my wife equals half. One plus one does not equal half. Racism is so insidious that it got us distorting basic math."
I discuss this & many other issues like internalized oppression, intergenerational trauma, intergenerational healing, etc. in my book “We Have Not Stopped Trembling Yet” published by @SUNYPress.

This month is Filipino American History Month, today is Indigenous Peoples Day, & tomorrow @NextDayBetter’s #IntersectionsPH will release its 4th episode featuring my Filibascan family.

The episode is titled “Superpowers.” 😁

Oh, & if you point out that we get half our genes from each parent, hence it’s .5+.5 & not 1+1, I just want to also point out that our roots/cultures are WAY more than our genes.

And culture & ethnicity DO NOT equal race.

See my other book “Psychology of Oppression.”

👋🏽 Bye.
Here’s a clip of @NextDayBetter’s/@KapamilyaTFC’s #IntersectionsPH episode featuring my Filipino Athabascan family.

This a glimpse of how we try to heal intergenerationally.

Pls take a few minutes to watch, reflect, & share.

Full episode here: nextdaybetter.com/intersectionsp…

Salamat!
