Filipinoness

So I'm really in love with this song that speaks about pride for one's roots, heritage, and race. And I am extremely proud to be a Filipino in America, one who represents the collective desires, optimism, and hope for success of my fellow brothers and sisters from my homeland. Growing up in the States, I feel fortunate to have had the opportunities to really declare who I am and what continues to unfold for me. And as I continue to evolve, I find myself very much drawn to my roots. There's a feeling of wanting to "come home" and really embody all the beauty the motherland, Pilipinas, represents.
