I can't say that I disappointed my hippie aktibista writer parents by being an unmarried, childless writer, but I've written about bad Filipina daughters in my fiction, and I'm honored to be part of this panel! The last time I attended an in-person AWP was in 2012 in Chicago, and this will be my second time to be on a panel (after the 2021 virtual conference) which is why I'm super stoked. And after the success of my list of American artists' residency programs for Electric Lit (which has since been updated for 2024), I was invited to put together another list of artists' residencies from around the world. I had so much fun putting together this list of residencies in Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania--do check it out.
