Ms. Princess Emraida Kiram

If Princess Emraida Kiram is not attending community events in Milwaukee or in Chicago, chances are she must be in some out-of-state community events.

A journalist by training, Emraida has been working at University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee for all the last 27 years.

But a few weeks ago, Ms. Kiram missed one of the civic engagements she penciled in her calendar a long time ago - a gathering of Filipino American political leaders and activists in what was billed as "FILVOTE" that kicked off the national Voter Outreach Campaign as part of the educational campaign of the National Federation of Filipino American Associations in Las Vegas, Nevada that took place on March 9 and 10.
