VOICES FROM THE YOUTH: Embracing the arts instead of expectations

September 4, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

VOICES FROM THE YOUTH: I define who I am

September 4, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Mike Guevarra SYLP Growing up in America, I always felt as if I was floating, like a drifting ghost, searching to find a place in a foreign world. Even as a naive child, I questioned why I never saw anyone on TV shows who looked like me, or why I couldn’t find a Filipino […]
