Marikit Fernando is a dancer, performer, and author of the book Back to Dance: How I Revived My Dance and My Spirit and How You Can Too. She discusses how her mom's patriotism for the Philippines shaped her connection to her Filipino identity, her journey through a deep depression, and the book she wrote to help her heal.
