🌸 In honor of #AAPIHeritageMonth, I’m incredibly proud to share that I’ve been selected as a Charity Fundraiser Lead for the 2025 Mrs. Philippines of North Texas, hosted by the Philippine Community Center Inc. (PCCI) — a nonprofit with over 30 years of service, volunteerism, and dedication to uplifting Filipino communities in North Texas and beyond.
Every two years, this fundraiser supports nonprofits that serve our kababayan. I have chosen Pamana as my beneficiary — a 501(c)(3) organization committed to empowering Filipino communities through education, livelihood programs, and disaster relief.
I will say, in all honesty, I’m coming into this space without the fully traditional experience of holding one singular identity as a Filipina. I don’t speak Tagalog — and that can feel like a barrier at times. But I’m also coming in with a different set of lived experiences I hold close to my heart. I’m stepping into this journey with a small but mighty team, and even though I’ve never done anything like this before, I believe in the power of showing up ANYWAY. If you’ve ever felt in-between, unsure, or like you’re still finding your way — I see you 💛
Choosing to support me in 2025 would mean the world. I’ve never put myself out there like this before, but it feels good to lead with courage and hard work — and I won’t give up. ✨ Here’s how you can support this mission:
