Cait Malilay is a freelance reporter and proud California native. After graduating Cum Laude from College of the Canyons with her associates of arts degrees, she moved from sunny and sandy southern California to the snowy and cozy Buffalo area to continue her undergraduate studies of English and Journalism at Buffalo State University where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with her bachelor's degree.

While pursuing her studies at College of the Canyons, Cait covered the entertainment segment for the college’s news source, Cougar News, which is now known as Canyons News. In addition to working in a live studio setting, she also made her own packages, and, combining her love for books, created her own segment for the show called “What’s Good On The Shelf” where she gave literature recommendations to encourage students to read more. When she wasn’t covering entertainment, she either worked on camera or in the audio booth.

When Cait started at Buffalo State University, she joined the award-winning student-run news outlet, The Record, as a staff writer and was promoted to News Editor. She also helped produce and co-host WBNY 91.3 FM’s “Let’s Talk, Buffalo,” a radio program about local interest topics. Discovering another passion, audio, she launched her own podcast and article series called “Conversations With Cait” in 2021, which centers on the arts, culture, and race and gender politics.

Cait currently resides in Stamford, Connecticut.

How to avoid family quarrels during the most wonderful time of the year: Thanksgiving

Ah, Thanksgiving: a time of cheer, laughs, good food and getting together with the family. But for some, it may be daunting to meet with certain members. After all, we’ve all heard of the in-law horror stories and watched the movies: “Monster-in-Law,” (2005) “Meet The Parents,” (2000) and “ Crazy Rich Asians" (2018).

What inspired her to launch this project is that while she was shopping for children's books, she noticed that a lot of them were more catered toward Mandarin-speaking families.
