Filipina Care Workers & COVID-19 Proposal

Gonzalez

Sharing stories that are erased

Filipina Care Workers & COVID-19 Photovoice project is at the intersection of many of my own interests in migrant rights, alternative forms of knowledge sharing, and the dismantling of supremacist systems. I wholeheartedly believe that creating a platform to share the stories of Filipina Care Workers during COVID-19 is critical.

Proposal

Working closely with the team we will identify the overall vision and goals for the digital experience. We will begin by identifying experience values, and identifying requirements, and prioritizing key elements. This will help us to arrive at an MVP (Minimum Valuable Product) which we will subsequently evolve.

Work Experience

Today

In December of 2017 I left my job at Huge (a leading digital agency) to see how I might begin to work on projects that work towards collective liberation.  Since then my work has increasingly become about creating space for histories, stories, and songs that are intentionally erased.

Since beginning my journey I have been lucky enough to partner with organizations and individuals that share this vision for justice.
