023: "Why are you other-ing me?" Assimilating as a mestiza with Marjory Ware

First generation Filipino/white woman, Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington State, and enneagram nerd Marjory Ware immigrated to America at 16 years old. Marjory shares the complexities of assimilating as a mestiza, how she finds validation in her practice as a therapist, and encourages our listeners to find "your people" - the ones that will accept you for who you are.

Strengthening Filipina Voices - One Conversation At A Time

WE ARE CURRENTLY OFF-SEASON
Do you miss us??? While we may not be on air, we are active on our *NEW* online community that offers daily conversations, book club sessions, and the Tsismis with Jen and Nani Private Podcast (a.k.a. the Rated "R" version of TFAW Project). Join today at http://thenewfilipina.com/

ABOUT US
Welcome to The Filipino American Woman (TFAW) Project by THENEWFILIPINA.COM. In the summer of 2019, our show originally focused on stories and life lessons told by Filipino American women. We transitioned to Jen and Nani's journey as content creators and entrepreneurs in the upcoming seasons. As we plan for our next season, we hope to encapsulate the common thread in every episode: to strengthen Filipina voices - one conversation at a time.
