With Love Excerpt Reading and Book Signing

Dr. Dustin Domingo’s latest project, “With Love: What We Wish We Knew About Being Queer and Filipino in America,” is a heartfelt anthology that explores the intimate journey and unique perspectives of fifty individuals. Written in the form of letters addressed to their younger selves, this collection of stories offers readers an intimate glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of navigating life as an LGBTQIA+ person in the United States.

As an artist, educator, writer, and student services professional at UC Riverside, Domingo channels his wide range of interests into projects that provide community members with the tools and platforms to share their stories. Despite experiencing an unexpected lay-off from his job in 2023, Domingo saw this as a chance to revisit his passion for bringing people together. He partnered with Dr. “Pinky'' Pat Linsay Catalla-Buscaino, editor of “The Kuwento Book: An Anthology of Filipino Stories + Poems,” to curate a collection of stories that centered on the perspectives of LGBTQIA+ Filipinos.
