JJ’s Story
“I'm mixed. My father is German, Swedish, Finnish - American and my mother is Filipino. She emigrated to the US with her parents when she was about 1 years old to Alaska. She comes from Ormoc City, Leyte and we are Visayan and Ilocano.
It's my friends and family who push me to be better, and who give me a sense of immediacy and hold me accountable to not only be successful but to do well for others.
Many of my peers are the ones who inspire me with their own work and also who critique mine and allow me to grow. And they are also the first people to support whatever projects or events I am trying to create.”
