My Filipino friends have helped me through many a dark place over the years... work frustrations, career setbacks, deaths of friends and family members... and I have come to appreciate just a little bit some of my friends hopes and hurts.
Like so many other communities, the story of the American Filipino community has not become part of the ongoing education of every American citizen. These stories need to be told honestly and completely and to become part of our ongoing national convesation if we are to be ready to be sincere and creative members of our own country and the world.
So I asked one of the organizers to share her hopes and dreams with us. Here is what she said.

Looks like it was fun, Jospeh!
I enjoyed the conversation... and did my best to convince the wonderful woman in the video that she spoke clearly, to the point, and with passion.
I so like to hear about your diverse and wonderful friends, Joseph.
She spoke very eloquently of our need to know all the flavours that make our melting pot soooo gooood! Thank you Joseph.
