    Anna Mercado Clark: Piña & Privacy Laws

    When NFALA de facto fashion advisor and data privacy rock star Anna Mercado Clark moved from the Philippines to the United States, she was old enough to have strong reservations about it--but too young to have a say.  Interviewed in this episode by Heidi Hennig Rowe, Anna discusses the path that led her from cultural duality challenges--to courage and heart that she quite literally wears on her terno sleeve.   Anna not only supports the Fil-Am legal community--she currently serves as the Northeast Regional Governor on the board of NAPABA.

    Tracy Badua: Coast to Coast Powerhouse

    East Coast or West Coast?  Bulalo or nilaga?  Interviewed in this episode by Jonah Toleno, Tracy Badua charms us all with her low-key sense of humor, making it all seem effortless. She recounts growing up in L.A. County, graduating from college in three years, and moving across the country to D.C. and then back again.  Finally--and most incredibly--she talks about being a working mother in the midst of a pandemic.    Tracy is an attorney in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is a past President of the Filipino American Lawyers of San Diego.
