131: "It's really exciting to be introduced to books that are pertinent to our culture and to be able to discuss them in community." A book club invitation with Jen, Nani and Caitilin Damacion

Surprise! In celebration of the holiday weekend, we bring on returning guest Caitilin Damacion to invite you all to the Tsismis with Jen and Nani (TJN) Book Club! They share the significance of discussing a book together vs. reading independently, Jen and Nani's growth since they started co-hosting together, and give a sneak preview into their book discussion of Little Manila Is in the Heart: The Making of the Filipina/o American Community in Stockton, California by Dawn Bohulano Mabalon.
