Hey guys! How are you doing? Or in Tagalog: Hoy! Musta na?

My name is Marc (I go by my middle name, I might talk about my first name later on), last name Feliciano and I am a new content creator for Odyssey and I can’t wait to add my voice in this groundbreaking content-driven publishing source site.

Who are you again? Sino ka ba ulit?

Well thank you for asking! My name is Marc Feliciano. I was born on June 8^th, 1992 in Manila, Philippines. That means I’m a Gemini and born in the year of the Monkey. I came to the United States when I was eight years old. I first lived in Virginia for a year and moved down to Georgia and have lived here ever since.

Being Filipino in a southern state was very interesting to say the least, like a fish out of water. If you’ve ever seen or heard of the show “Fresh of the Boat” on ABC, I have a somewhat similar experience to the main character. My family dynamic is a completely different from the show and I can’t wait to share my stories about how similar and different I am with my family and my diverse group of friends.

What’s so different about you? Ano ang nakakaiba sa iyo?

This is a loaded question. First things first (I’m the realest… yes I am lame, I do apologize) I am going to be a photojournalist. I am a visual person so expect numerous images in my content. All of the pictures that I place in my post are all taken by me… except for this picture because my friend took it during my oath ceremony. But yes, the photo credit will be mine.

Second, as I said before, I lived an interesting life. From moving to America, moving to the south, changing family dynamics, interest changes, personal tragedies, etc. Basically I use everything that I have experienced for the past 16 years (that’s how far back I can remember anything) as a guideline to my posts and will compare and contrast my life back then to now.

Lastly, as most you guys know, we are all part of different communities. I am part of the LGBT, Filipino-American, recent graduate, technical communicator and Millennial communities. So yes, I will cover numerous topics that affect me, I will give voices to those who do not have a platform, and explore topics outside of my expertise to give myself and you readers knowledge that you have never realized that you need. I will do interviews with friends and family that helped shape me and self-reflections of me as a person. So get ready for a roller coaster of emotions coming your way.

What can we expect from you? And ang maasahan namin sa iyo?

You’ll have to have to wait. I can’t just reveal everything to you in the first post. ;-)

Let the fun begin! YASSSSS!!!!! #slay
