Kuwento Co. Dr. Pinky with Grandmother

Our Kuwento

Kuwento Co. LLC was established on September 6, 2021 in Texas by Dr. Pat Lindsay “Pinky” C. Catalla-Buscaino. Kuwento Co. is a take on the Filipino saying, kuwento ko, meaning my story. Kuwento Co. was inspired by Dr. Pinky’s teenage years of documenting and preserving her paternal grandmother's life stories, kuwentos. Dr. Pinky always felt the need to document family stories to preserve and honor their legacy when they are gone. In 2019, Dr. Pinky was able to focus her dissertation topic on the kuwentos of Filipino American community college students. Listening, learning, sharing, and writing about the kuwentos of Filipinos has been a passion for Dr. Pinky. After a decade in the higher education industry, Dr. Pinky decided it was time to turn her business dream into a reality, and create Kuwento Co. to empower others to write, tell, and share their own stories.

Excellence - We strive for excellence in everything we do-- our client relations, service, products, leadership, and organization. We do this through constant improvement and evolution.  
Self-Authorship - We believe that each person is the author of their own life and kuwentos. Anyone can write their kuwento with the help and guidance of Kuwento Co. We respect everyone's lived experiences and encourage writing, sharing, and publishing your own stories. 
Preservation- We know that writing your kuwento is part of leaving a legacy for the next generations, making our community's stories accessible to all people.
Connection - We believe kuwentos connect people, unite, heal, and transform individuals and collective communities by coming together to write and share about our common humanity.
