I've been posting every day on TikTok for a month, and let me tell you! It's so much more fun to contribute to the platform than to spectate and doomscroll all the time. It gives me a real reason to open the app lol

My brother is graduating with his BA in Comms Design next spring from UAA.

He’s looking for leads to internships or entry level roles with a local agency, studio, and anywhere he can contribute art!

If you know of anything please lmk or email him at [email protected]

Thank you! (Please share!)

The wave text design is a tribute to my home province, La Union, and a nod to a line in the Philippine national anthem: β€œAng kislap ng watawat mo’y, tagumpay na nagniningning” (the sparkle of your flag shines with triumph).

β€œAyat para iti pagilian” is an Ilokano phrase that means β€œlove for the homeland / country.” For me, it’s a reminder that love for the Philippines also means showing up and taking action so our kababayan have the protections and fundamental rights they deserve.

Yet even now, as storms approach each year, I watch for updates and messages from back home for reassurance that my family is safe, still waiting and wishing for better for my homeland.

The devastation we’ve seen across the Philippines this year is more than just headlines and images for me.

Some of my earliest memories are wading in waist-deep floodwaters and being without power for days. That was nearly 30 years ago.

I announced that I started a small business/social enterprise supporting the Filipino American community in Anchorage.

I didn’t plan for the launch to fall on the same week as Black Friday/Small Business Saturday (I was going to do this next year).

But here we are and I’m excited!

Excellent journalism highlighting how the State of Alaska is failing ruralβ€”and predominantly Alaska Nativeβ€”students.

β€œover the past 25 years, state officials have largely ignored hundreds of requests by rural school districts to fix the problems that have left public schools across AK crumbling”
