"White-Washed" 🤍
"Not Filipino Enough" 🇵🇭
"You don't act like us, so you can't sit with us"🪑
These were just some of the things that I would hear while growing up.
As a child of Filipino immigrants, I learned resilience through a childhood of contrasts. Coming to the states at a young age, I had to learn to embrace a new language and culture while yearning for connection to my heritage. This was a constant struggle, amplified by the sting of bullying and the pain of witnessing harmful stereotypes about my culture play out in real life. These experiences ignited a passion within me to defy these narratives and create a more inclusive world. I was determined as an adult to forge my own path, a path paved with resilience, empathy, and the pursuit of authentic representation.
I strive to create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. I am driven by the belief that our unique experiences and perspectives are not only our strengths but also the building blocks of a more just and equitable society. By embracing our differences and working together, we can break down barriers, challenge biases, and create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. ✨️
My diverse background in hospitality, brand marketing, partnerships, and entertainment has equipped me with a unique skill set that I leverage to create meaningful experiences that resonate across cultures. I am passionate about building strong relationships and collaborations.
Mabuhay! 🌞 Kamusta Sa Lahat
