In the olden days, making plans meant surviving dial-up screech just to drop an AIM away message in neon-yellow Comic Sans.

Time to step away from the screen! For ten years, we’ve been archiving our community’s culture, laughs, and core memories. Now we’re taking the party IRL to celebrate a full decade of keeping it real. Check the link in our bio, grab your tickets now, and we’ll see you on August 8th!

What was your iconic AIM screen name back in the day? 👀

Last night’s show at the @thefordla was filled with so much joy, love and community. And while I could talk for days about the amazing performances from @therealchrisspencer to @macygray to @frankiequinones to @justinamachado to @dnice - what I want to share is the absolute inspiration I felt seeing two badass women, Latinas, actualizing a dream of using art to bring people together at a time of increased systemic attempts to divide and separate us.

Aida and @marissacreates thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did to make last night happen. It’s not easy to fill the Ford, let alone produce such a unique and diverse program filled with so much heart and intention. Last night was a reminder of the power of joy, laughter, and music to keep us hopeful at a time when everything around us seems to be falling apart.

Thank you for modeling vision, collaboration, and love. That’s the blueprint. That’s the purpose. That’s the way forward. Sincere thanks. 🙏 ❤️

The era of modified Honda Civics + underground zines + early online message boards + and impeccable style. The 1990s didn’t just give us great style… it gave us a collective voice built completely from the ground up.

In the 1990’s, before social media, we were carving out our own platforms out of pure necessity to connect. We came up in that Legacy, and we keep on keepin’ it. For the past 10 years, This Filipino American Life has carried that exact same independent mantle; building an audio living room to archive and share our community’s everyday experiences of immigrant love and diaspora strength. So let’s celebrate.. In the spirit of THE 90’s Dust off your oversized fits, grab your crew, and meet us on the dance floor.

On Sunday, July 26, join the TFAL crew as we co-present the first of SUNDAY SUPPERS AT THE HUNTINGTON.

The event will feature a light 4-course tasting menu from Chef Justin Foronda of HiFi Kitchen (@hifikitchen) inspired by different historic periods in Philippine & Filipino American 🇵🇭 history. Join us for an evening where participants share family narratives and experiences through history, discussion, artmaking, and food. Best of all, it's FREE!!

Registration link in bio. Tickets are available beginning Monday, July 13.

Inspired by the This Land Is... exhibit at The Huntington, Sunday Suppers is co-presented with Smithsonian Folklife Festival as part of a multiyear partnership with the Smithsonian Institution. This project received funding from the Smithsonian’s Our Shared Future: 250, a Smithsonian-wide initiative supported by private philanthropy and created to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary and advance the Smithsonian’s vision for the next 250 years.

Labor of Love at @thefordla in October 2025 was a powerful night rooted in history, culture, and community. Featuring @therealjoebataan, @quetzalmusic, @faithsantilla, @knlfolkarts, and @rondallaclubla, the show brought together soul, folk, and storytelling in such a moving way. The night honored the legacy of Filipino and Mexican labor solidarity, turning the stage into a night of celebration with community.

Come see us at our next event back at The Ford Theater featuring @bambudepistola: Bass Building on October 10! Ticket link in Bio!

The great Bay Area Philosopher P-Lo once said…

“Same squad, same squad, same squad
Droptop coupe, dodge raindrops
Big bag plays on FaceTime
Squad ain’t with me then it ain’t right
Same squad, same squad, same squad.”

Maraming salamat to @filipinoforces, @rembrandt & his team + @theloungebooth.

Outside on a school night? For the culture. Always. 🇵🇭

Go see @forgottenislandmovie only in theaters on September 25!

Happy Mother’s Day!!! I’m excited to announce that a very special episode of the Sacred Lessons podcast comes out tomorrow!

I sit with Fr. Gregory Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention agency in the world, for an intimate conversation about love, belonging, and the fathers we find along the way.

Together, we explore what happens when men grow up without the tenderness, guidance, or affirmation they needed, and how healing becomes possible when we are met with compassion instead of judgment.

Listen to Episode 27 of Sacred Lessons tomorrow on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
