On March 27, 2026, I joined Manuel Noel Ferrer on Level Up over Radyo Katipunan 87.9 FM, together with filmmaker, poet, photographer, and author Nic Deocampo. What began as a conversation about two very different books became a wider discussion about culture, identity, memory, and the stories people carry.
The episode was presented as a book conversation featuring Nic Deocampo’s Shards of Desire: A Collection of Queer Poems & Photographs and my book, Culturally Intelligent Storytelling for Southeast Asian Creators. Although the books emerged from different creative traditions, both examine how stories carry culture and how personal and collective identities shape what audiences understand.
