Highlights from Pamliya Play: Stories from our Lolas 💛✨

We began this beautiful intergenerational gathering with a reading of When Lola Speaks by @ren.dlc, setting the stage for an afternoon of storytelling, connection, and cultural memory.

We then heard from a panel of Lolas and Lolos, grandmothers and grandfathers, as they shared stories of the Philippines and their journeys of migration to the U.S. 🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸

To cap off the day, everyone got creative with a crafting activity, decorating little frames for printed photos of their own Lolas and Lolos. 🖼️👵🏽👴🏽

Special thanks to @risingfilipinas and @flippfamily for hosting such a meaningful intergenerational event and creating space for our elders’ stories, memories, and wisdom to be celebrated and passed on. 🫶🏽

Events like this are part of the work we do to foster cultural enrichment, community healing, and connection across generations.

💛 There’s still time to donate through Long Beach Gives! The donation platform closes tonight at 11:59 PM!

Your support helps KUBO Organizing Project continue creating spaces for cultural storytelling, wellness, and community connection — including the Long Beach Parol Lantern Festival, Restorative Yoga, Cultural Practitioner Spotlights, and more.
