Another Dominguez for the TFAW Project books! Nani's cousin & 5th grade teacher Keani Dominguez takes the stage to share her journey in becoming a teacher, the rare opportunity she has to seize her passion for teaching Filipino studies & culture to kids, and how she wears her teacher hat at home to guide her own daughter, Ekena, in developing her own identity as a Pinay.

ABOUT US
Welcome to The Filipino American Woman (TFAW) Project by THENEWFILIPINA.COM. In the summer of 2019, our show originally focused on stories and life lessons told by Filipino American women. We transitioned to Jen and Nani's journey as content creators and entrepreneurs in the upcoming seasons. As we plan for our next season, we hope to encapsulate the common thread in every episode: to strengthen Filipina voices - one conversation at a time.
