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: Decolonizing Parenthood Episode 3.04
"Native Sol Tribe - When Manifesting Vision Raises Up Family"
In this episode, we are joined by May Salem. We discuss how she has been raising her children aligned with her values while respecting the changing world they are living in, how Native Sol helped her actually have more time for and with her children, how she and her family have been and are challenging the system, and more.
May Salem was born in Malinao, Aklan, Panay, in the Philippines, raised in Nisenan/Maidu/Miwok Territory (Sacramento) and currently living in Tongva/Kizh Territory (Long Beach, CA).
May is a proud mama of 5 that were born at home (influenced by her family’s strong Hilot/Midwifery tradition). She is also the designer/creative director and co-owner of NATIVE SOL and EARTHING. She host workshops, special events, and gatherings at her brick and mortar shop in Long Beach, CA. Her lifestyle is reflected, integrated, and became the inspiration for Native Sol. The emphasis of sustainability, handmade, slow fashion, health, supporting local & Indigenous artisans are some of its foundations.
