MY INSPIRATION
What inspires me is the deep connection to my cultural heritage and the stories of my ancestors. I’m moved by the resilience and creativity of those who came before me, and I feel a strong sense of responsibility to honor their legacy through my work. I’m inspired by the power of storytelling to bridge generations, cultures, and communities, and by the opportunity to create spaces where people can learn, connect, and feel a part of something bigger than themselves. I also find inspiration in the everyday moments of joy, laughter, and the simple act of living life fully, while remembering to be silly and present. My experiences, both personal and professional, fuel my passion to create and to support others in their journeys, ensuring that we continue to grow, evolve, and build upon the work of those who paved the way before us.
MY INSPIRATION
My personal mission statement is a constant work in progress. I create spaces that celebrate cultural heritage and amplify community voices through content creation, storytelling, and shared experiences. Connecting the past with the present inspires growth and understanding. As a mental health advocate, I share my journey with vulnerability, fostering healing and empowerment. I honor my ancestors by building upon their work, preserving our cultural legacy, and carrying their wisdom forward. I believe in the transformative power of laughter and connection by embracing life’s joy, playfulness, and duality. Rooted in my Filipino heritage, I am committed to living fully and authentically, inspiring others to do the same.
