I am happy to share that "To Resist Being Unseen", my essay about a traumatic experience with the New Zealand Police during my first year as a PhD student, was featured in The Rumpus's This Week in Essays. I struggled to place this essay, but thankfully Another Chicago Magazine, which was one of my dream journals since I was a high school student in the Philippines, stepped in to run the essay. It only goes to show that if you have a story that matters, don't stop believing in it, even if others think it's too risky or outrageous to be publishable. Let's not stop raising our voices against those who seek to erase us!

The following essay is about institutional racism in New Zealand and how it functions. I've been working on this piece for a couple of months now and it's finally ready for publication. The essay explores the inner workings that occur behind the scenes in order to justify how the government's treatment of Maori and Pasifika individuals is different from that of other New Zealanders.
