Filipino Music, Language, and Culture Consultant

I have understood Tagalog for my whole life since my parents always spoke to me in our native tongue. However, I would also respond in English. For a long time, I felt embarrassed to speak our language. Since 2020, after finding some old family piano pieces and photos, I dedicated my life to becoming more fluent in Tagalog and (re)connecting with the Filipino culture. Since then, my language skills have improved tremendously which allows me to communicate with my peers and elders robustly. 

This workshop will comprise of facilitated dialogue and experience sharing. Together, we will explore topics such as children and youth learning Tagalog in Canada, stories of migration, educational discrimination, history, culture, food, religion and spirituality, and all aspects that make us Filipino. 

Examples of workshops could include karaoke parties, sharing circles, potlucks, discussions, and one-on-one meetings. Please get in touch to communicate your interests and needs.
