031: “Our job is to hold that awkward space for others.” The importance of showing up for ourselves and for each other with Niki and Monica Magtoto
Although sisters Niki and Monica Magtoto lead completely different lives, there's one clear thing that they both value: holding and creating space for people in different capacities. The Magtoto's share a mixed ancestry (from the Philippines, Mexico, Cabo Verde and Ireland) and consider themselves fortunate to have been raised in an open-minded and open-hearted household. They share how they "create space" for others in their respective fields: Niki currently works as an Educational Policy Analyst and Equity Facilitator and Monica works as an artist, brujita, and yoga instructor.
