Elaine Dolalas, This Filipino American Life (Host) BIO: Elaine is a Historic Filipinotown-based writer, podcaster, and independent curator. She curates Color Your Troubles Away, a monthly arts event that offers stress relief, healing, and meditation through coloring. Elaine is happily trying to figure out the secret of life through writing, volunteering, and most importantly avoiding cleaning her room, much to her husband TFAL producer Mike’s chagrin. Her essays, podcasts, and CYTA events can be found at ObliviousNerdGirl.com.

Michael Nailat, This Filipino American Life (Host/Producer) BIO: Michael, aka waxstyles, is definitely 100% Filipino American, although his facial hair tends to confuse folks for some reason. Born and raised in Oxnard, educated at UC Irvine and USC, it’s no wonder he ended up becoming a DJ (but not a racer or breakdancer for some reason). By day he crunches data on homelessness for the United Way, fixes computers for the Pilipino Workers Center, and helps guide Sessions LA, a DJ and music production program for youth. Whenever he happens to be free, he collects records, laserdics, and vintage electronics. He is also a budding off-road enthusiast. He is currently camped out with his exponentially more interesting life partner Elaine in Historic Filipinotown.
