Cathleen Balid
Princeton Internships in Civic Service Emeritus, Advocacy Ambassador
​
“As a Filipina writer active in the literary magazine space, I’ve worked with Southeast Asian storytelling as a rewriting of erasure. Legacies of War similarly reclaims war narratives through its bold advocacy for UXO clearance in Southeast Asia—and I am excited to drive real change as an Advocacy Ambassador.”
