Timothy Sean Baluyot Ignacio (he/him) is a 2nd Gen Filipino-American from Northern California. In 2018, he moved to Quezon City, Philippines to live alongside and serve a working-class community with the non-government organization, Servants to Asia’s Urban Poor. As a creative and musical artist under the name “ITM” (reiteration of the Tagalog word, “itim” meaning “dark”), he also uses his creative work to express his musings and advocacies around his decision to move to his family’s Motherland as a “balikbayan not missionary”. He likes his coffee black, his whiskey neat, and his sports team in LA.
