March 01, 2024 Seeking New Adventure through Banyan Roots ft, Jonah Konop
When it comes about Filipino identity and culture has so much than just where you came from or what language you speak. If you ask me when I first started with the podcast, I was first taken back by all the different cultures and language but as I continued with this journey, it comes to the land-based identity.

June 06, 2023 Season 10, Episode 7 - Demiliza Saramosing
Description:
Demiliza Sagaral Saramosing is an educator, scholar, and teaching artist of Bisayan descent with genealogies rooted in the seas shared between the Visayas and Mindanao. She is the descendant of Sakada great grandparents and of immigrant Bisayan parents. Demiliza’s poetry, scholarship, and activism draws from her experiences being born and raised in occupied Hawai’i and growing up in working-class Kalihi. She waded through the stresses of poverty, policing, and assimilation in Kalihi alongside other racialized, diasporic, local, and Kānaka Maoli peers. For Demiliza, she believes that she and her peers collectively challenged their colonial realities through the building of new, fun, and pleasurable cultural identities grounded in Kalihi and other forms of youth subcultures. This Kalihi youth culture and consciousness has led Demiliza to identify and align herself with social justice movements that heal our relationships to land, waters, and to one another in her adulthood. Demiliza’s hybrid cultural youth experiences led her to align with and build transoceanic relationships in queer, feminist, Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities and scholarly spaces in Hawai’i, Oregon, California, Minnesota and globally. These experiences and relationships inform her commitments for decolonial and abolitionist justice in her scholarship and activism.

May 29, 2023 Season 10, Episode 5 - Aldrin
Growing up (in Hawaiʻi) like some of us, have experienced this shame behind trying to look like your "FOB" or Fresh of the Boat. Was this because our history wasnʻt represented in history books which forces us to assimilate to that typical "white" culture. The importance of knowing our own history in order for us to know ourselves plays a huge role in our identity. For our latest narrative, we have Aldrin, by friends and family is known by AJ. His entire Filipino-American journey is an experience that many might relate to and apart of it is learning that his roots were tied to Sakada lineage.
