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 3.21
"Raising my Children through the God in Me"
In this episode, we discuss the awareness of raising children as free, without the burden of the ancestors, the consciousness of reclaiming the strength and beauty of the ancestors, following the spirit of God within the self, and more.
Cisa Payuyo is the daughter of the late Vicente Andaya Payuyo from Isabela and the late Irenea Parong Duque from Nueva Ecija. Born in the Yangna Village of the Kizh Nation, Cisa grew up in Echo Park near Downtown Los Angeles, close to Historic Filipinotown.
Cisa is an ordained minister in the Disciples of Christ church, a progressive Christian denomination that ordains women, and people from the LGBTQ Community. She serves at Chapman University as chaplain and a spiritual mentor to students from across the campus.
Before her call to campus ministry, Cisa served as a case manager for Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA). SIPA is a non-profit organization near Downtown L. A. that advocates for and addresses the needs of people of the global majority in its surrounding neighborhood. She also volunteered with the Filipino American Library in various capacities.
Cisa is mother to three adult children – Donovan Buhawi, Nikolas Salatan and Nina Antikena Amihan, and Lola to Nina’s child Kennedy. Her beloved spouse is Ed Ramolete. They have been together for over twenty years.
Decolonization a spiritual practice for Cisa. Some of the ways it manifests in her daily life is in the way she reads and interprets sacred scripture, and in her work as an Anti-Racism trainer for clergy and churches in her denomination.
