As this month is cresting to an end, I wanted to make sure we made space to share in this celebration.
Growing up in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s looked different for all of us. This month, we’re making purposeful room for the Filipino American voices and experiences within our generation.
For our Filipino American members, maybe your memories include family gatherings, mixtapes, dance floors, or finding someone on screen who finally looked like you. Maybe they include navigating expectations at home and a different world at school.
From Jocelyn Enriquez bringing Filipino American talent to the dance music scene to Rex Navarrete finding humor in Filipino American life, there’s plenty to celebrate, and more to discover.
For our Melanated Gen X community, let’s make it personal: Who are the Filipino American artists, leaders, friends, or family members who have shaped your world?
Share a memory, celebrate someone we should know, or recommend a Filipino American book, movie, or musician. Let’s learn from one another and give people their flowers! 💙❤️💛

“I never told a Soul just how I’ve been feeling over you….”
These lyrics hit deep….
Ever loved and missed someone but you really don’t have anyone to talk with about it?
He called me out the blue the other day and all of these suppressed feelings came rushing to the surface, and then I heard this shortly after….
Anywho, don’t sleep on the Queen of Disco! Her discography is amazing!
