“Hi, my name is Tula. In Filipino, my name means ‘poem’. I am six years old and in the 1st grade. This is one story of what I experience as a half-Filipino and half-Japanese American growing up in Michigan.”
Absolutely adorable. This was submitted for the HBO Asian Pacific American Heritage Month documentary series. The end is the best! Thank you for sharing, Tula!
Also shout out to Emily P. Lawsin, a dear friend and seasoned poet we met at the 2011 APIA Summit, Twin Cities!
