To know history, we memorize names, dates, and places. But in this podcast, we will explore "no history" and try to uncover the untold stories of Filipino-Americans. American history has understated its relationship with its colony, the Philippines and also ignored teaching how Filipino-Americans have contributed to our society. Together, we will deep dive through history and learn about inspiring Filipino-American figures and events!
Prince Zuko, Jake Long: American Dragon, and Rufio. Dante Basco is a name that will always be mentioned when discussing early pioneering Asian-American actors in the media industry, and I am so glad to dig more into his life and learn that he wants to create as many blueprints as possible to help Filipino-American and all young POCs succeed in the media industry.
Tune in and learn more as I explain more about his struggles, his triumphs as a young actor, and what he has been working on now! Learning about his life has given me a lot to talk about my thoughts on Avatar, Asian-American representation, and what Dante Basco can teach us in our lives.
