Scrambled Eggs: FilAm History Spoken Word

Original Performance

This is an original spoken word piece written by Alex Cena, Marco Mercado, Darius Imperial Jr., and myself which focused on Filipino American history. There were variations of this performance, but this is the first time we performed this piece which was at SIGUE, a multigenerational symposium focused on Filipino American Identity.

It’s called scrambled eggs because it’s a mixture of our own personal pieces chopped up and mixed together along with a few ad-libs along the way. We each had our own experience with exploring and discovering our Filipino American identity.
