Carlo is a Filipino-Canadian educator, writer, and creative based in Vancouver, Canada. His work weaves together themes of cultural identity and community, drawing inspiration from the intersections of grief, resilience, resistance, and hope. Carlo’s creative projects are shaped by his roles as a child of immigrants, as a father, and a storyteller committed to holding space for both tenderness and strength. He believes art is a way to connect, heal, and carry each other forward one word at a time.
