Some people open doors. Ate Sonia (@delendot) builds them for you, then holds them open for everyone behind her. 🌹

Last night at San Francisco City Hall, during the 22nd Annual Filipino American History Month Celebration, the City of San Francisco named her Trailblazer of the Year.

I’m so blessed to have had a front-row seat to our Trailblazer’s story: the quiet sacrifices no one sees, the sleepless nights spent making things happen for other people. The way she gives, even at her own expense, is otherworldly. So much of the life I’ve built here as an artist exists because she believed in me, supported me financially, gave me a home, and mentored me to navigate life with wisdom and integrity.

And I’m only one of many. Our community stands taller because of her.

To my mentor and my mom here in the US: this recognition is long overdue, and still not enough for everything you’ve given. All the flowers, today and always. Congratulations, Ate Sonia! 💐❤️

🎙️ POV: Arriane Del sings a Whitney Houston classic at the Live Luxury Lounge Concert in San Francisco!

An unforgettable evening performing in front of Hollywood actress Claudia Wells, best known for playing Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future, (who took live videos of me on FB & IG) alongside San Francisco dignitaries, politicians, community leaders, and prominent business owners. 🎬✨

It was an honor to have such a distinguished audience in the room. Thank you, Stef for having me and for a beautiful night of music, luxury, and unforgettable moments. 🖤🥂
