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 2.21
"Mothering Self, Family, and Future through Decolonial Work"
In this week's episode, we are joined by Marybelle Mallari Bustos. We discuss Marybelle's remembering and practice regarding her Kapampangan lineage, explore her upbringing and her own journey into motherhood, what is nurturing her now, and more.
Marybelle Mallari Bustos, also known as MB, was born and raised on the ancestral lands of the Tataviam in the San Fernando valley and currently resides on Tongva land, also known as Los Angeles, California. Her maternal lineage are the Sunga and Mallari's and her paternal lineage are the Dizon and Bustos of Santa Lucia, Masantol, Pampanga. Growing up in a large Kapampangan family, she's been able to maintain and appreciate her "amanung sisuan" or mother language. Marybelle’s reclamation of ancestral roots and re-indigenizing journey is expressed through her art and collaborations, through ceremony and motherhood.
