Stephanie and Leo
Literally translated from Filipino as "New Leap", the idiomatic phrase generally refers to a newcomer in any community or environment.
In their 12th episode, Stephanie and Leo honor Filipino American History Month in a conversation about the immigrant experience: a global phenomenon that speaks of nostalgia, cultural assimilation, and the formation of a multiethnic identity.
