This is Kultivating Kapwa, hosted by Jana Lynne Umipig and Olivia Sawi. In our FIRST series, we sit down and ask Auntie Leny questions about her life, her work, decolonization, academia, ethnoautobiography, her relationship to nature, the land, and all living beings, and her views of the future. In our SECOND series, we have conversations with members of the community and explore how decolonization has manifested itself in their work, and how they cultivate kapwa in their own lives. In our THIRD series, we discuss decolonizing parenthood. We explore how decolonization shows up at home and in family, relational to our collective children. We delve into the intergenerational healing that exists in parenting the next generation, that ripples into our relationships to our elders and ancestors, our community, and all parts of our lives.

Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Community, Episode 2.19
"Re-membering the Path of Creation, Rooted in Relation"
In this episode, we are joined by Diyan Valencia and Nicanor Evans. We discuss how their relationships to and presence within community has shifted since the pandemic, what they are creating now, how their paths have changed since they began, and more.
Diyan "BukoBomba" Valencia is tawo of Bikolano ancestry, and was born and raised on Tongva territory from the hood of Historic Filipinotown, L.A. As a d.i.y. multi-media artist, crystal ball solar pyromaniac, musician to community organizer, their work uses creativity as a way of finding freedom from inner pains and colonial traumas. Their creations are intended to empower, activate, inspire, heal and connect us to our roots, our ancestors, and one another as kapwa.
Nicanor Evans is Tagalog na Bulakenyong Ilonggo, and is a descendant of Evangelista Angeles Estudillo Sarmiento Doma Obispo. He is an aspiring multi-media artist who receives his inspiration by learning about his ancestral roots and their sacred arts and practices. He creates visual arts, music, and film to express his connection with the divine.
