✨ EPI 103 Actress & comedian Nikki McKenzie tells a story of being told not to mention she was Filipina in auditions over a decade ago - was this about being hired for more roles? But now? She’s the lead in 3 romcoms, and proudly represented her Filipino-ness all the way! This one is for anyone who’s ever been told to quiet their culture, shrink their identity, or make themselves more “palatable” just to fit in. Have you ever been told to downplay who you are to get ahead?
This is your sign to do the exact opposite. Be loud. Be proud. Be unapologetically Filipina. 🎧 Episode 103 is out now — listen on Apple, Spotify or YouTube (link in bio)
