Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Community, Episode 11
"Sacred Relations: Building Generative Cross Cultural Relationships"
In this episode, we are joined by Harvey Lozada. We discuss the importance of starting with self, his feeling of responsibility to protect, preserve, and hold ground in San Francisco, being someone who holds space for many of all cultures and ages, and more.
A fourth generation FRISCOPINO, Harvey is an educator, social worker, healer, art curator, and community photographer. He is a son of Filipino immigrants from the regions of Luzon and Mindanao, tracing his familial roots in Ramaytush Ohlone territory, or San Francisco, as far back as the 1920s.
Harvey is a humble culture bearer and descendent of abularyos and manghihilots. Harvey’s healing journey began with his work in social activism and engaging young people in the juvenile justice system. For over 15 years, he has dedicated his life to disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline through youth leadership development and culturally responsive counseling services for children and families throughout San Francisco. As an artist, Harvey curates art shows and makes photographs to document community stories, social movements and aspires to share OUR truths for generations to come.
