A Conversation on Filipino Identity with Dr. Valiente-NeighboursDr. Jimiliz Valiente-Neighbours (Dr. V) and I were able to sit down and have a conversation about Filipino identity, moving to the U.S. and navigating life as a Filipino American. Dr. V is a Sociology professor at Point Loma Nazarene University who teaches courses such as Introduction to Sociology and Race and Ethnicity. She has written the article, “Mobility, Embodiment, and Scales: Filipino Immigrant Perspectives on Local Food” (2012) and is the creator of Kagitingan, a moving documentary play that honors the untold stories of Filipino World War II veterans through music, movement, and the actual voices of those who lived it.
