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 3.15
"Feeling into Deep Ancestry: Holding my Child While the Earth is Holding Me"
In this episode, we are joined by Kimberly Tate. We discuss her understanding of the nervous system and remembering to re-access joy, raising a baby since the beginning of the pandemic, how this turned out to be the perfect time and how it allowed deep transformative work, the need for mothers and in turn Mother Earth to rest, and more.
Kimberly Tate (she/they/we) is a multidisciplinary embodied truth seeker, teacher, healing arts practitioner, organizer and mother based in Flatbush, Brooklyn (unceded Munsee and Canarsie Lenape land). She is the daughter of Glenda and Dennis Tate, the granddaughter of Alfred & Josefina Pacho Tate and Felipe & Rosario Alibadbad Serrano from the Eastern Visayas of the Philippines.
A trained architect practicing between disciplinary boundaries, Kimberly lives and creates, teaches, mothers and performs - to dream, to heal, to make space for grief and joy, to build kinship and belonging, to honor and restore our embodied inheritance and to recover agency in spheres we inhabit and design. Her work emerges in community through installation, performance art, workshops, care circles, natural ink making, textile upcycling and restorative embodied design pedagogy.
She is founder of Studio Galaxxxia, a healing arts, performance and design consultancy that conspires to amplify vibrations of love, healing, joy and belonging in our communities. She is also design faculty at Parsons School of Design at the New School, a K-12 design educator at the AIANY Center for Architecture, a recipient of a Tischman Environmental Design Center faculty grant and a 2020 Create Change Fellow with The Laundromat Project.
