A Podcast & Platform elevating Filipina excellence 🇵🇭 Empowering you to take your power back ✨
Founder: Krystl Fabella @krystlbella

This episode is a MUST. LISTEN. I have returning guest, Gabes Torres, who once again, does not disappoint to give me chills when we talk!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Gabes aims to practice decolonizing and antiracist work as a community organizer, teacher, singer-songwriter, and mental health practitioner primarily for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
why this episode? 2021 came in hot and heavy, what with political events, rise of anti-asian violence, more racial and self reckoning, and I wanted to discuss it and process things in a healing & honest way.. this COLLECTIVE SHIFT and AWAKENING we're going through.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"As someone who believes in indigenous teaching where there is death, there is also rebirth. I believe that we are in the birth of a new era."⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This episode is sponsored by @seventyeightcards , a spiritual space, which Filipina founder Melinda Lim created to promote tarot and readings an extension of your intuition. ✨ Melinda aims to demystify superstitions about tarot and spirituality and promotes that through these tools you can receive guidance from your ancestors and guides, and every reading is a way to empower yourself. Get Melinda to read you! 💖⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'm getting my reading tomorrow! 🔮⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Book a 30 min & 60 minute card readings appointment (link in bio). Melinda is also offering her first tarot course focused on the fundamentals of the cards, so that you can use them yourself and build your intuition.

Like/comment if you agree 😆 I would almost say

Like/comment if you agree 😆 I would almost say “as living room jam sessions are to recorded albums” 🎤 because it’s all raw, unrehearsed, and don’t have anywhere to find it after, it just “is”. I have an interesting thing with Clubhouse. I think it’s amazing in that it’s democratizing the “speakers” space, and super cool with its in-&-out functionality, no frills, no edits. (I can listen in on Elon Musk as we’re all just chillin in our bedrooms?) 🤩
At the same time, I think its a platform still figuring out its legs as a boom of people come on. I think it has great potential to be this accessible space where anyone can discuss, but get frustrated when I’ve entered a room lacking organization of speaking or the dominating topics about “make a million, hacks, tips” all that stuff we already got enough of? As a podcaster, I know how many hours go into production while this can be super quick and easy, but I do hold quality conversations and being responsible with listening audiences highly. 🧐

ANYWAYS I love that this platform has so much diversity of voices and discussion topics, and have seen some AMAZING topics, I would just hope it is curated to be something that this world needs, not just another marketing-grow-my-business scheme. 🙃

SO … Follow me on Clubhouse☺️ I will come on as myself, Krystl, to have bi-weekly Saturday chats with any of YOU, on unfiltered, grace-filled, needed topics, ranging from cultural taboos, mental health, decolonizing work, diversity, spirituality, and taking our power back and just GAL THINGS. The room is TBD but expect some conscious conversations, and I wanna invite people from THIS community to lead discussions. bi-weekly Saturday chats 💛

I appreciate the writer for this honest, nuanced a

I appreciate the writer for this honest, nuanced article grasping the complexities of discussing anti-asian sentiment in the landscape of today. It's a work-in-progress discussion we're forming together, but we must learn how to talk about it, understanding that model minority myth is a programming that we all, in one way or another, operate from or have been affected by and can continue to unlearn/learn things, give ourselves the grace and space to name things, experiences.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I've never directlyy experienced racism yes, (or have trained myself a blind eye) 🙇🏻‍♀️ but I will admit that I have attached on to whiteness in my life and capitalized where I can inherit it to get me "further." I have been in systems that have indirectly favored whiteness but I'll turn a blind eye because not racializing myself is easier to get by.⁠⁠ 🙌🏼 (I know others have experienced direct forms)
⁠⁠
for those thinking "well, I've never experienced racism as an Asian American or have seen it, so don't generalize me" or "well we don't have it as bad as ____" I invite you to leave that at the door step for now and enter the room with curiosity about what you can learn.. and unlearn, our end goal is all the same (equality right?) and it begins with understanding our own programming.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"To this day, I feel self-conscious calling myself a person of color due to my proximity to whiteness. However, this proximity doesn’t make me white either, as I am regularly reminded of this when people of all colors — white, Black, and everything in between — tell me that I don’t belong here."⁠⁠

hi! so excited to see our community of 10k+, so I’d love to intro myself (never done this before eek~)⁠
My name is Krystl Fabella. I started Filipina on the Rise from personal need to discover stories of Pinay Powerhouses and increase our representation.⁠
⁠
Quick facts:⁠
🔹 I was born in Manila, PI and immigrated to Canada ➡️ California at 7⁠
🔹 I am a child of the diaspora, thankful to parents who sacrificed careers as doctors to pave a path here in the U.S. I have 3 sisters 👯‍♀️ +a million with all-y'all⁠
🔹 I went to UC San Diego, started pre-med (sound familiar?) changed my major 5 TIMES, & graduated with Business.. which I took to SF to be "in tech" (confusing I know)⁠ and now own a tech consulting biz🌟
🔹 after an experience of sexual assault in college, I led a statewide campaign supporting other survivors, and this ignited my passion for advocacy ✊🏽⁠
⁠
Confessions:⁠
🔸 Growing up, I felt I never fit in with the Filipino crowd. I had weird frustrations with our community+lack of representation, so never embraced Filipino identity. this podcast has helped me heal that, discover our beautiful multi-faceted identities and my own pinay pride⁠
🔸 I’ve always feared not having an interesting enough story. The podcast has helped me find my own story by telling others 🎙️⁠
🔸I used to be scared of not having a linear journey, scared I was confusing, or lacking clarity. Now it’s something I embrace & learn you can trust the process!💛
⁠
Everyone has a story, if you give yourself permission to realize you don’t have to “create” it you just have to own your experience, honor everything that has made you YOU, and share it ♥️⁠
⁠
I live by the quote: "Find a hole in the world in the shape of YOU and FILL it!"💡 My mission is to inspire you to do that.⁠
⁠
I’m so thankful that you’re here and that you’re joining in this mission to elevate Filipino women & empower our community around the world!

I've always loved this word in Tagalog and its com

I've always loved this word in Tagalog and its complexity. It can be used to mean so many different things, and yet embrace its simplicity of "I love you" as "Mahal kita" 💞⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Growing up, I loved hearing my dad and mom refer to each other as "mahal," the term of endearment, so much more depth than "babe" or "love," and then amused when told that the toy I wanted was "masyadong mahal" (too expensive) 🤪⁠⁠
⁠⁠
this has prompted me to look into this word on this valentines day (this abstract, weird, lovey-dovey day🥴), and discovered other contexts/definitions of the word I didn't really know! looking into the origin leaves me so curious about how it made its way from origins of "high cost" to association to LOVE in the tagalog language (does anyone know?)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
perhaps pre-colonial Filipinos linked high cost and love 🤣 💸
⁠⁠
send to your mahal mahal! 😂 happy valentines day everyone, mahal kita! 💞

Before @happyslip , YouTube&comedy success, Christ

Before @happyslip , YouTube&comedy success, Christine was actually a working actress in New York, and she shares a difficult decision she made, that to others looked like she was giving up the “acting dream” but it was time to let that go, for other priorities, strong in her identity. This ended up leading her down a very different, unpredictable but beautiful path where we know her now! 💖

I love this because we are encouraged so much to go all in, forsake all for the passion and dream, but sometimes life leads you in a different direction, and you must trust in letting go of that dream, trust that you’ll be led into what’s right.

“I never played by the rules of the game” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
