Kultivating Kapwa: Decolonizing Parenthood Episode 3.17
"A Mother's Raising of Suns and the Healing of Patriarchal Wounds"
In this episode, we are joined by Maria Rubio. We discuss how she teaches her children how to show up for themselves, the most difficult parts of raising two men of color, raising children communicative of their needs and wants, navigating the world of dating and romance, and more.
Maria Rubio is a born and raised New Yorker by way of the Philippines, and a writer of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and scripts for both stage and film. Her work explores the complicated, often antithetical and multi-layered nuances of the human experience through the lenses of queerness, decolonization, motherhood, trauma, and joy. She is also a registered nurse specializing in psychiatry, mental health, and sexual assault examination. She currently resides in Brooklyn.
