Welcome to the first episode of U.B.E Chats! We wanted to get right in and introduce the minds behind the podcast and share the reasonings behind our capstone project/passion project. For those of you who may not know, both creators are affiliated with EPYC which stands for Empowering Pilipinx Youth for Collaboration and this is under NAFFAA, the National Federation of Filipino American Associations and for this organization we are both ambassadors for specific region of the world. This episode in particular now you will have the opportunity to hear the perspective of Maileen who is one of the Nor Cal region. but in particular, the reason behind the building of this passion project is through her advocacy of mental health within Pilipinx youth specifically allowing the youth in her community to be open in seeking resources especially being able to recognize mental health as a priority similar to our physical health.
Maileen Mamaradlo (she/her/hers) is a recent college graduate at San Jose State University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health.She became a public health major because of her broad field. When the pandemic happened, it allowed her to see the importance of public health to advocate for health needs for all underserved communities in Northern California. She hopes to use her degree to advocate for mental health resources within Asian American communities.
