For those that have asked me about my reawakening of my creative pursuits, I’ve always been a poet and a writer. I have always loved fashion, my Apu/Lola/grandma sewed often and her quilt (upper left) represents Heaven and Earth. I’ve tried to recreate it in so many ways to figure out a book cover even in Virtual Reality - VR (the long awaited poetry chapbook, 16 Dimensions), and given all the recent galas I often never really liked the Philippine butterfly sleeve, partially because it was too 80s shoulder bulky, and less modern for my liking. Here I tried to reconfigure what it would look like based on other pageant queens representing the Philippines. A dream runway dress I’d love to design and wear. Now calling my friend @artbyphysicistkittyyeung if I were able to make this in Blender and Clo3D and your AI software it’s a matter of getting materials to make it? #fashion #FilipinaAmerican #concept #metgala #goldgala

Here’s my full written spoken word poetry performance piece, “Asian America” which I wrote for San Jose State University Research Foundation AAPI Perspectives event celebrating Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month in 2023. Thanks to @ellinayin for inviting me to perform this for support of Santa Clara County Oral History Project. Some lines from the piece We transcend barriers where we lead the metaverse everywhere all at once make sense of the incomprehensible multiple meanings in parallel many come hereto form a direction like a wave vibration ripples echoing from its center Asian America They say we are all so different To find points of unityBut like a star each point converges together we flock like birds we huddle together in a pack we treasure movements and moments preserve many languages many cultures many styles Our ways of being #AANHPI #AANHPIHeritageMonth #poetry #spokenword #poems poem AsianAmerican SouthBay SanJose

Happy Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month! Here’s an old poem I wrote back in the day all about love and the movement. “You bring out the Asian American in me” My piece written on December 4th, 2013 Here’s a love as resistance poem for a very special someone. Just knowing he exists is enough. If he were to be the real Barack to my Michelle someday, I would be thrilled with a blessed miracle and all the stars aligning. Until that day comes, I will work on who I need to become as a woman to be ready to meet. This piece was inspired by Bao Phi’s “you bring out the Vietnamese American in me,” and he was inspired by Sandra Cisneros, House on Mango Street poem, “you bring out the Mexican in me.” My fav lines now i can reference how every figure person leader movement icon and how you bring me to that place that makes me feel nothin but pride and smiles so wide i say goddamn i just love this community Can’t help but compare thee to Bruce Lee you standing strong next to me you hold up half the sky with me you bring out the Asian American in me you bring out the asian american in me you make me wanna cook for ya like a top chef wannabe move beyond asian fusion food in me i wanna tell you how bad i just wanna bring you to the ranch 99 bring you to my kitchen and cook the tastes of home give you aromas to consume want you to absorb the aura of me I want you to remember the taste of me after I’m gone each time you eat this dish think of me Follow @theanimerin for more of my poetry. #AANHPI #AANHPIHeritageMonth #AsianAmerican #love #poetry

Our collective grief poem for our friend, Lyle Prijoles @lylestyles at Bindlestiff Studio @bindlestiff_sf 5-8-26 What does grief Smell like? Feel like? Taste like? Pain Rain Alcohol Ash Bells Agony Heaviness Love hate Paralysis Numb Something you can’t control Metallic Salty Bitter The taste of paint What do you do with grief? Turn it into rage Try to accept it Alchemize it into love Sometimes you suppress it Denial How does grief leave us? It doesn’t It softens Abandoned Empty How do we honor those who left behind us? Say their names Share Forever in our heads Take action Pick up where they left off Make artwork inspired by them Live their legacy Describe how you hold you ancestors within you Memorialize them Remember Embody their character Teach the young who they are — They say there are two deaths The first one is corporal The second death is when the last person who that person remembers them passes away and their memory is gone #grief #RIP #poems #poetry #LylePrijoles

Remembering my friend, Lyle Prijoles @lylestyles . It still feels completely surreal writing this, as I recorded this Instagram live for the 5th time trying to get the lighting right, the words right, and saying the words to ask donations to support the family of my friend, Lyle Prijoles, so that his body can return from the Philippines back to the U.S. Please consider making a donation /f/help-bring-lyle-prijoles-home I met Lyle organizing in support of “The Debut,” hailed as the first Filipino American film back in the day and I still remember his voice, cadence, and style. It’s a shock to the system to find out your friend, someone you knew passed, and hits very heavy in ways you never anticipated. He embodied what we look for as leaders and is someone I know firsthand, as both of us poets, journalists, scholars of Asian American and Ethnic Studies, also personally that he cared deeply about the quest for social justice, truth, and stood up for his beliefs. As painful as this is for a lot of us to experience such a tremendous loss of a passionate community organizer, I was relieved to return to Bindlestiff Studio, @bindlestiff_sf , known as the epicenter of Filipino American arts. I was able to participate in a collective poem in the audience on grief, which I’ve re-read here from my notes. I hope that you all, who are grieving Lyle, Kai, and the Negros 19 at this time seek out all the resources and help you need as you process all the emotions that have come up upon learning about this tragedy. I’m also glad I finally performed a poem I think would have been fitting and did justice as a tribute to Lyle. I’ll share more posts to amplify the many organizations who have been organizing in the Philippines. My thoughts and prayers are with my friend Lily Prijoles, @hoboflips , one of my earliest inspirations in spoken word, a member of the 8th Wonder (4 Pinay and 4 Pinoy) spoken word collective, who I have the privilege of knowing all these years, as well as the Prijoles family, the Negros 19 and their families at this time. #RIP #LyleStyles #JusticeforLyle #JusticeforKai #JusticeforNegros19
