It’s Filipino American History Month! 🇵🇭

In our first ever "podcast" episode 🤩🎙️, Michelle and I wanted to have a real talk about what it's like to be first generation Asian Americans. Although both of our parents are Asian immigrants, we grew up completely different so this was a fun way to get to know each other even more.

We discuss cultural expectations, the strict "no dating" rule, curfew, academic achievements, coming out and wayyy more funny topics like cultural superstitions (i.e., spirits 👻).

Let us know if you enjoyed this episode and what other podcast content you'd like for us to discuss next in the comments below! 😁🫶🏼
