1.09.24 – ICYMI: 2024 Fly Pinays Info Night

“To me, being Pinay is a source of my cultural identity. It connects me to my rich heritage, traditions, and it connects me to the values of the Philippines and with those connections it has evoke in me a sense of belonging and pride. For example, my family is the solid foundation and a reminder on who am I and where I come from especially my mother. My mother is the epitome of a Pinay, who works hard raising her two children as a single mother, doesn’t forget where she’s from and still holds her heritage, tradition and values despite living in America for decades. Most importantly, there’s a shared history with your fellow Filipinas. For example, when I meet another pinay in the streets of the Bay or Valley the instant connection is almost immediate and it’s a beautiful thing!”
