Flip Chronicles with Rex Navarrete

There was so much we covered in this deep conversation we had about parenting, the pandemic, self-care and anti-blackness amongst Filipinos. My guest is Janet Stickmon, a longtime voice of conscience inside the Fil-Am sphere of things. She’s the child of an African American father and Filipina mother from Cebu. Her career in education and Ethnic Studies has given us her books, “Crushing Soft Rubies: A Memoir”, “Midnight Peaches” and her latest “To Black Parents Visiting Earth.” She is currently a professor of humanities, specializing in Ethnic Studies, and faculty coordinator of the Cultural Center at Napa Valley College. She is currently part of a community dialogue called Tatlong Bagsak which directly addressed the anti-blackness within the Filipino American community. You can join in the discussion at www.tatlongbagsak.org. I hope she continues to change the game of our own politics for the better and comes up with an even better recipe for British doughnuts. Enjoy our talk. Music by DJ Qbert.
