July 2025 Postcard from Leny Strobel:
It's so fitting that Leny sends me a postcard featuring The Babaylan Mandala designed by Perla Paredes Daly. I had introduced the two to each other and, subsequently, they would co-found, with Lily Mendoza, the wonder Center for Babaylan Studies! Perla also had founded "BagongPinay," the first online community for and by Filipinas aimed at creating a positive and empowering Filipina identity (see link for more of Perla's achievements). It's wonderful to have Leny's and Perla's presence in this project. And I love Leny's postcard message:
A Mandala is Poetry...
Awash in golden, graceful
curves of allurement
Let's Dance!

Salamat for the Mandela - symbol of our stories, our identity, and our struggles - our resistance to the invaders.
