The first Filipino queer immigrant in an @nycpride campaign at Times Square 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇭 6 years ago I came to nyc with no savings, no connections, zero plans — just two suitcases and a goal to hopefully survive the big apple. I spent a big chunk of the first year broke and unemployed, down to the point where I wanted to give up and go back to the Philippines because I failed to amount to anything… I’m so glad I didn’t listen to any of that bullshit lol. I’m grateful to have worked in some of the most prestigious companies in fashion + beauty, but most of all, grateful to have met my chosen family who continuously inspire me to grow and be better. Never in a million years would I have thought that a girl from Pampanga would be part of something so monumental and be able to represent little pinoy queers who are fighting to be visible and be celebrated for being authentically themselves. Thank you so much @nycpride for giving this pinay an opportunity to be her unapologetic self. 🥹 It’s still happy #pride because we are gay 24/7 365 and our fight shouldn’t end after June. 🫶🏽 —— #NYCPride #UnapologeticallyUs campaign credits: CD: @ew_daveed @julseynyc Photo: @mikeruizone Key Makeup: @glossbossj Makeup (on Alithea): @yvonnetheartist Style: @altorrin @lcnsndvl Hair: @dhairiusnyc Nails: @clawedbylacreme Location: @blondeandconyc —— #pridemonth #loveislove #lovewins #queer #gaysian #filipino #pinoy #immigrant #nyc #newyork

Two souls in motion, mirrored without knowing. 🤍 Every almost-bump pulling us closer by an invisible string with the kind of serendipity only love and fate could understand. That same invisible string that ties people together is also what keeps a neighborhood alive. Every swipe, every small purchase, and every familiar face behind a counter becomes part of a shared heartbeat — all powered by the tools that help local businesses thrive: @CashApp and @Square. #ad Starring @thestreetsensei and @alitheacastillo Written & Directed by me DP @saki.dp Gaffer @shaurya_chopra SFX @emelinefilms
