The Fattened Caf Fosters Collaborations for Filipino American History Month

2 years 8 months ago
For The Fattened Caf owner Charlene Lopez Young, Filipino American Heritage Month is not simply about celebrating the contributions that Filipino Americans have made in the growth and development of the United States; it's about recognizing their role in the nation's present. "For people like me who were born in the United States but have Filipino parents, we always live in this tension that we are not Filipino enough but not American enough," Lopez Young says. "This month is so great because it helps people like me who identify as that feel a little more seen, whether that is in the food scene or just the acknowledgment that Filipino Americans live in the United States and are Americans."
