Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Community Episode 2.23
"Navigating Multiplicity and Mixed Identity in Pilipinx Diaspora"
In this episode, we are joined by Jillian Purugganan Werhowatz. We discuss how Jillian has learned to hold the complexity of having a mixed identity, the hardest things she has had to be in confrontation with, finding her place in community, her personal embodiment practices, and more.
Jillian Purugganan Werhowatz is the daughter of Yolanda Purugganan Werhowatz and Andrew Werhowatz III. Her mother is from Quezon City by way of Illocos Sur in the Philippines and her father is American, from Gary, Indiana. She currently resides on Monacan Territory, also known as Fredericksburg, Virginia, by way of Lenape Territory - New York City and Ojibwe Territory -Detroit.
