The #PowerOfStories has never been lost on Alex Villafuerte. The stories he watched on television when he was younger, would help him connect to his #Filipino #culture . Later, negative rhetoric about COVID-19 would result in #ActsOfViolence & #hatred toward #Asian communities he belongs to. It’s this range of stories, their #influence, and how people respond to them that has shown up in his work as a long-time #CommunityOrganizer & #advocate .
