110: “There’s a history of the Pinay being silenced. The more we can invest in ourselves, the better we can build self-sustaining communities.” TFAW Project @ AAPA’s Inaugural Asian Podcast Festival

Last week, TFAW Project had the opportunity to participate in the Asian American Podcasters Association’s Inaugural Asian Podcast Festival! This episode is a snapshot from the festival’s live recording, where co-hosts Jen & Nani get into the origins of the podcast & sisterhood they’ve built together along the way, the radical impact the show has had on the Pinay community, & how they’re using podcasting to evolve our cultural narrative. Want more? 

As we continue to stress how TFAW Project is giving a voice to the Filipinx American community, we urge you to dive into our academic research paper - Pinay Podcasters: Building A Self-Sustaining Community Through Storytelling, Collective Healing & Learning, and Collaboration in our latest project for The Bulosan Center for Filipinx Studies of UC Davis at www.pinaypodcasters.com

In this long love letter to our kumares, we share how we’ve used our podcasting platform to carve space for ourselves to practice new forms of activism, decolonization, and citizen journalism. Expanding on the Maria Clara archetype, we explain how this historical narrative has impacted our cultural identity as Pinays & the many ways we embody patriarchal ideals that have been pushed upon us as Filipinx women today.
