Talent that knows no impossibilities

A big voice in her own right, Jessica Sanchez will be back to perform with an edgier look and a sound that is entirely her own. Catch up with the powerhouse voice on 10 November in her self-entitled concert “Jessica Sanchez with special guest Martin Nievera” happening at The Theatre at Solaire.

4 (cont. )like, cant I also celebrate a month for Asians without non Asians guilting me? Idk … I feel bad often as if I’m some privileged Asian? When I’m not, I earn minimum wage. Like? I felt weird with her reply, like she was trying to point out my Mythical Asian privilege? I get more days to celebrate? Like?

Of course, you’re right in feeling uncomfortable because she’s ignorant about the month. October was chosen for Fil-Am History Month because it was the month that the very first Filipino folks landed in the US in 1587. It’s not about having more days, October just happens to have more days than February. Not only that, most people don’t even know about Fil-Am History Month nor do they give a rat’s ass about it AND it’s shared with LGBT History Month. People are so ungrateful and ignorant.

Trump Wanted to Ban Students from China in U.S.

Politico reported in August that Trump told a group of business executives that “almost every student that comes over to this country is a spy.”

Same and thank you very much for clarifying on the Native issues!

Yeah, I think she’s been writing a lot of racist things in her books. I remember not that long ago, Native folks were calling her out on something. I can’t remember what it was but this is definitely not the first and last. Doesn’t seem like she learns or even wants to.
