Originally assigned as a multimodal literary analysis for a literature course, this poster displays the riveting story of a Filipino-American called Eudocia Tomas 'Lola' Pulido. Events from her birth in Tarlac Province to her toil raising the Tizon children in Seattle, Washington, are chronicled as described from the perspective of one of the Tizon children - Alex. Although Alex Tizon, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, is no longer with us, this poster seeks to capture the essence of his article "My Family's Slave," Lola, in a clockwise timeline and map of her life.
