Happy FAHM, fam! I’m excited to invite you to an event celebrating Filipino American History Month, where I’ll be performing! We’ll be exploring the power of Asian American activism, including the story of my uncle, Patrick Salaver.

My Uncle Pat was a leader in the Third World Liberation Front at San Francisco State University in the late 1960s—a movement that not only coined the term “Asian American” but also brought ethnic studies to colleges across the nation. Though his legacy as a Filipino civil rights leader is significant, Pat’s story remained largely unknown. Until NPR produced an entire Podcast episode about him this past summer!

AND Now, with the support of KQED, I’m honored to amplify his story, set the record straight, and continue building on his legacy. Here's the info:

📅 Date: This Thursday, October 10th, 2024 at 6:45pm

📍 Location: The Commons, KQED Headquarters

Address: 2601 Mariposa Street, San Francisco, CA 94110

🎟️ Grab a discounted ticket with the code STUDENT25: Event Link

I’d love to see you there for this meaningful celebration!

BUT FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T MAKE IT IN PERSON... It will also be streaming LIVE!!

Embracing our means seeing each other with empathy and harmony. 🤲🏽✨🌊

"I wanted a shirt that reminded the wearer that within each of us lies our ancestor's wisdom, strength and beauty. That WE ARE ALL OF OUR ANCESTOR'S WILDEST DREAMS & HEALING! And when we choose to heal ourselves, we are healing a long line of ancestral trauma & generational pain. Because everything is connected." -
artist designed our beautiful T-Shirts which will be available at on on August 8th at limited quantities.
This design is representative of a multigenerational family of Filipinos. Each person is wearing clothes from a different era: post-Spanish colonialism (Grandparents), Modern-Day (FilAm), pre-colonial warrior (ancestors). The ethereal bodies surrounding the circle represents our . Ancient Filipinos believed that everything has a spirit, from trees to animals and humans to natural phenomena. Anito can be divided into two main categories: the ancestor spirits (ninunò), and deities and nature spirits (diwata). There is belief that our ancestors continue to watch over us, guiding and protecting us past their physical death.

It was important for me to see the different generations as a reminder of where we come from. And to see our ethereal ancestors in a circle around the family unit as a reminder that we are always surrounded by the love of our spiritual Kapwa/Kindred family. are ALL about family & togetherness.
