October 29, 2022 Into the Unknown with Mia Balingit
The conversation is also available on our website: www.Kasamahancollective.com
From sharing her Filipina-American experience as a queer pinay who advocates her culture through her small business of Perfectly Pinay — we learned that when it comes to her journey a huge chunk of it has to be the many lessons she learned from her grandparents and the values that her parents has taught her.
Raised by her grandparents and her parents who showed her the value of hard work and dedication. Mia is a third generation Pinay born and raised on the unceded lands of Ohlone Territory, (known as Union City, California). She later moved to the Kingdom of Hawai’i recently to pursue a degree in social work but later on she learned that you don’t necessarily need to go to college to do what you love.
Reflecting on what she learned, a big part of her journey has been a whole lot of self awareness, community and re-starting her small business!

Learning more about my family and relatives - how they grew up, who they were associated with, etc. —> This creates a narrative
Allowing exposure to learn - Following social media accounts that educate people about the Filipino history & culture; watch films, shows, listen to the music

September 04, 2022 Season 9 Episode 5 Ryan Farinas
Ryan Farinas (he/him), a second generation Filipino-American who is the only child of Mr and Mrs. Farinas of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte. Personally, Ryan struggled in embracing his own cultural identity but through learning what his own culture has to offer and give, he was able to learn the language, specifically the culture, superstitious, tradition that we practice and why we do certain things that can seem to be very complex.
To this day, since the interview Ryan continues to still learn about his own Filipino identity and culture. To get a sense of how Filipinos are and which is why we’re separated from other cultures. Filipinos are regarded as such hard working people, having a mindset to work hard and live a good life and provide for their family. Our culture has so much to offer and learn about. The practices we do, the types of food we eat, it’s so interesting learning about it from our parents, our grandparents, our family.
