Clearly I am bad at social media things... Anyways! Special shout out to my admin team and staff for #makingmoves in the work they are doing within the Pilipinx community! I’m really fortunate to have a front row seat to everything this new staff and generation of students is doing to empower themselves, support others, and contribute to our beautiful history! #spucla #PAHM #isangbagsak (at UCLA - Student Activities Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BplcwTmHa6nW29wzIirUGnHlQTaJ1_lvgWrGJ80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jz5s232yl0tg

Day Two of #spucla PAHM Social Media Campaign! #MagandangMorenx in Tagalog basically means “brown is beautiful”. I grew up thinking that I needed to use papaya soap so I could lighten my skin and meet Western standards of beauty. But, alas, my melanin is too strong to be contained! I’m still learning how to be confident in the skin I’m in, but all I need to know right now is that MY brown is beautiful! 📸: @maruuu403 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpddzF1gUXKeqFpihvgoyC2MUVK8pXrsAnl9R80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8gp53micg28o

If you all didn’t know, October is Pilipinx-American History Month (PAHM)! We have been celebrating all month and in true Pilipino Time fashion, I am starting my take on the #spucla social media campaign challenge, right now! Woo! This post is dedicated to my #KaibiGANG. “Kaibigan” in Tagalog means “friend” - so here’s to my friends that keep me going 💕 (at UCLA) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaQnvGgXPezZcIIyqRt9Oq8UBDQXPOg1UMSgA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ejol5fcryv1t
