Episode 2: Gemmae Bake Shop
Prescilla Tolentino had, by all accounts, a successful bakery business in the Philippines when her husband convinced her to move their family to the U.S. about 30 years ago.
“He said, ‘Why not try it?’ Tolentino said. “So we did.”
They packed up and left everything in their native country to start over--joining relatives already in the U.S. and making a new home in West Long Beach.
