She is the Founder and CEO of Kuwento Co., a publishing company committed to amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, particularly Filipino, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and LGBTQIA+ narratives.

Dr. Pinky has co-authored works in academic books such as Culturally Relevant Storytelling in Qualitative Research and The SAGE Encyclopedia of Filipina/x/o American Studies, further solidifying her role as a thought leader in preserving cultural histories through storytelling. As the publisher of The Kuwento Book: An Anthology of Filipino Stories + Poems and With Love: What We Wish We Knew About Being Queer and Filipino in America by Dr. Dustin E.
