Our Core Members
The Center for Babaylan Studies is led by a dedicated group of volunteers of Philippine ancestry. They are a diverse, multi-disciplinary collective bringing together a multitude of skills, talents, experiences, and knowledge. They are academics, artists, grassroots organizers, social workers, activists, spiritual workers/healers, teachers/educators, mothers, daughters, aunts, and more. They come from a legacy of past volunteer core members (which include the Center's founders), and devote countless hours of their time, expertise, and energy to create engaging programming, meaningful content, and contribute to powerful local and international movements, both in their personal and professional lives, as well as to advance the mission of the Center for Babaylan Studies.
