Pinay Visionariesc
by: Alpheus Matthew Llantero
This October is Filipin(a)-American History Month
In line with the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS), we'll be telling the story of Pinay Visionaries.
"Throughout history, Pinay — Filipina American women — leaders, laborers, scholars, scientists, and activists have been the backbone of the Filipina/o American community. These Filipina Americans have overcome racial and gender discrimination, and have persevered to contribute to their respective fields."
