Memoirist-in-progress, fellow booknerd and grad student Anjelica Moresca Enaje joins us once again for a special episode on Filipinx literacy. We take a deeper dive into the Maria Clara archetype from Jose Rizal's famous novel Noli Me Tángere, Anjelica's vision with getLITfilam - a survey of (literary) works by and about people of Filipino-descent, and how it's an honor to be in a position today to write our own history. For her past interview, check out episode 008: "Choose to live."
