Marianne Miralles: Sharing the Richness of Filipino Culture

In this first of a series of interviews, our host Jannelle So speaks with Filipino role models, highlighting their inspirational stories and achievements.

We talk to #KabataanCulture founder, Marianne Miralles who in partnership with Teofilo Coffee Co. brought #TheBarrio to SXSW in #Austin.

Find out why she persisted through so many challenges to make this event happen and what she plans to do across the US for the Filipino community.

Kabataan Culture is a nonprofit organization which provides a platform for children and their families to learn about the Filipino culture. With the help of our teachers, they will acquire the confidence to speak Tagalog and gain knowledge about the heritage and traditions of the Filipino people. Students will be fully immersed in the rich history of the Philippines and will complete each program with a desire to learn more about the story of the Filipinos and the 7,640 islands that make up the country.
