Shae (n.): Chef, single mother of two, and unapologetic lover of a bacon-pineapple slice.
.
A super short piece I wrote for the everlasting debate: 🍍 on pizza—yes or no? This one’s written dictionary-style. As for me? I’m an enthusiast through and through.
.
What’s your go-to slice? Feel free to express yours 👇
Mine: pepperoni + pineapple + jalapeño. Extra crispy, chef’s kiss.
.

Set in 1890, Sacramento. A Filipino historical fiction. This is Benito — my Filipino Western about memory, violence, and identity. A story of leaving one life behind… and the pull of who you truly are.
.
This was a challenging one to write and been working on new styles. Shoutout to the goat @writeon_kim
New excerpt is up now on Substack + Medium. Link if in bio.

A story about leaving the past behind and stepping into the fire of fine dining. Kitchen life. Camaraderie. Partying. Pressure. And trying to keep up in a new kitchen.
.
Welcome to the back of the house.
.
Thank you to everyone who’s taken time out of your day to read. Since the injury sidelined me, writings become a creative outlet — a way to stay grounded, reflect, and moving forward. Here’s to new ideas, fresh starts, and letting God handle the rest.
