Kwento means Story.

 

What is a Living Memoir?

A Living Memoir is a narration of a life being lived. It is a hybrid genre composed of creative nonfiction texts found in the web and in print. It involves the use of digital media tools and traditional fine art modalities to tell a literary story. (definition as of March 30th 2024 by NCT)

Nica carefully discovered the Living Memoir while writing her first book, Kwento by Nica, as an MFA Student at San Jose State University. If an oral story could be written and collaged with multi-digital media, the Living Memoir would be it.
