In today’s episode, our host, Micah Leonida, is spilling the tsismis on what it’s like to build communities and create brave spaces in Edmonton with this week’s guest, Ida Beltran-Lucila. Together, Micah and Ida discuss building Filipino communities in the diaspora, the challenges and successes associated with community building, and how community programming has changed as a result of covid-19.
