Dear SD FILAMEDA members, families, and friends. Join us for a fun and relaxed Filipino Language Practice Meet & Greet—a chance to meet fellow Filipino Americans, practice simple Filipino conversations, and enjoy using the language together!
No pressure, No perfect Filipino required. Just come, listen, try, and have fun! Magpraktis tayo kahit paunti-unti.
Because sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to start speaking. RSVP - email: [email protected].

Sige na! Tara na. Mag Filipino na!

I’m booking visits for the ‘26-27 school year! I’d love to come say hi and chat all things books and writing at your school, library, book club, org, conference, or cultural celebration!

As a reminder, I write middle grade (ages 8-12) and young adult (teens+) books, and I’ve spoken to audiences of all ages at comic cons, writing & literacy programs, heritage month kickoffs, and professional development conferences.
