Midday Edition highlights three Filipino Americans who are driving change in their communities, including a San Diego Superior Court judge, a children's book author and the city of San Diego's poet laureate.
S1: It's time for Midday Edition on Kpbs. Today we are talking with some of the shining stars in San Diego's Filipino-American community. I'm Jade Hindman. Here's the conversations that keep you informed , inspired , and make you think. A local judge receives an international honor.
S2: You know , I think that. Being born in Hawaii. We we go often and go back to the island. But you know , that starting point of where community is huge , the culture in that state is a medley of different international , you know , connections and multi-cultural communities that work together. And that was something that my parents introduced me to when they began raising me there , and then took me to California and San Diego eventually , where that continued.
S2: So of the people that we serve , that we present to them as something familiar , something to where they're comfortable being themselves , and that they will be respected and honored for who they are as much as the value that they bring to the courtroom.S2: As a San Diego Superior Court judge. I , you know , follow by example. A lot of my colleagues do the same. We find it important to make sure that justice is transparent and that people can see us as human beings wanting to serve.
S1: And the the illustrations. They really tell a story , like your most recent book compares emotions to plants. Describe what that looks like for us. S1: Right ? May not be may not even be articulated in English , or a concept that , you know , English speaking people know or value. You've also written books about Filipino culture outside of the language series , so tell us more about that.
S1: You're listening to Kpbs Midday Edition. Welcome back. You're listening to Kpbs Midday Edition. I'm Jade Hyndman , and we're putting a spotlight on Filipino Americans who are making an impact in our community. And that takes us to our next segment. Poetry has been a part of our lives at some point , from nursery rhymes to a favorite song. But as we grow older , it can feel less accessible and really more complicated.
S5: You know , I was a college student at UCSD and undergraduate students , and I ultimately was drawn to spoken word. Think that , you know , my my relationship to literature , my relationship to literature and English classes was not always the best. I didn't know it was because I didn't feel represented in the literature we were reading , but think perhaps even much more deeply.
