The final event of the Simi Valley Multicultural Festival, Origin Stories, will premiere on May 21, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. This virtual event, streaming on Zoom and Facebook Live, will feature cultural vignettes from members of the Simi Valley community and performances from Tina Orduno Calderon, a storyteller and songwriter, and Angelina Leaños, the 2020-21 Youth Poet Laureate of Ventura County.
Origin Stories will highlight the diversity found in the Simi Valley community as participants recount stories related to immigrating to the United States, cultural traditions, and family memories. These community members will be joined by Tina Orduno Calderon, a culture bearer of Gabrielino Tongva, Chumash, and Yoeme decent, who will share Indigenous stories and song; and, Angelina Leaños who will read three poems inspired from her Mexican-American heritage.
