Hey back from the grave just to say, @dailycal please restore the author pages of class of 2019 and class of 2020 (and perhaps others).

I still depend on these clips professionally and my work needs to go back online.

[Francesca Franco @ffrancoLA]

Please check out our April issue! We have been covering the Roque family for nearly a year now.

[abi balingit 🌸 MAYUMU OUT NOW! 🌸 @theduskykitchen]

I’m excited to officially announce that my debut cookbook Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed is available to pre-order now: https://t.co/5UAAvlXPf0! 🥳 I can’t believe it’s coming out on February 28, 2023!!! It’s so so surreal. 🇵🇭

And I still write occasionally. Check out this story about a Filipina Sacramento based Cannabis Entrepreneur 🍃

ICYMI: I was on @KCRWPressPlay talking #UCstrike today: https://t.co/9qqiokz2vv

And here's POLITICO's story on Day One of the strike. I was on the picket lines at UC Davis while star intern @SakuCannestra reported from Berkeley: https://t.co/8MRVcMIROU

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

~4,000 workers rallying at UC Berkeley

[B. Sakura Cannestra @SakuCannestra]

I’ve been back on UC Berkeleys campus covering the strike, and the banners on Sather Gate have been joined by these on Wheeler Hall and Dwinelle Hall.

@SakuCannestra @politicoca The talent 🤌🏽

I helped write the top part of today's @politicoca PM Playbook! Go read my words on the federal data privacy proposal and how privacy-minded Californian officials are handling it! I also recommend subbing to Playbook while you're there✨ https://t.co/HUpp5rNTjx

[Kenneth Mejia, CPA @kennethmejiaLA]

HONORED to be on the front page of a 🇵🇭 newspaper, @mahalayasf! Thank you @ffrancoLA!

Humbled and honored to be representing our people and potentially become the first Filipino elected official in LA, first CPA, & first person of color in 100+ years as LA City Controller! 🇵🇭

[Francesca Franco @ffrancoLA]

Check out the second story I wrote for Mhalaya’s July issue! Such a cool interview.

[Francesca Franco @ffrancoLA]

@kennethmejiaLA @mahalayasf It was a real pleasure! Thank you!

[Kenneth Mejia, CPA @kennethmejiaLA]

Thanks to Filipino/x-American Newspaper @mahalayasf & @ffrancoLA for the feature! 🇵🇭

Mejia believes in letting the numbers speak for themselves. The Los Angeles General Municipal Election is on Nov. 8th. If elected, Mejia would be the first Filipino city official of LA.

[Francesca Franco @ffrancoLA]

This month for @mahalayasf I interviewed @kennethmejiaLA on his campaign for LA City Controller. Mejia is a certified CPA and grassroots organizer looking to hold LA City officials accountable. Read more at: https://t.co/LwCDaB4nIR

My story on today’s front page. Incredibly proud of this one.

If you haven’t been able to read it, here’s your chance. It’s about an illegal abortion in California in 1966 and the legal battle that followed.
