*Warning, this episode contains conversation around suicide.*

In honor of Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Month, we're sharing some interviews from a really special event that we participated in back in November, the fifth annual Pinayista Summit hosted by Make it Mariko. Pinayista is a vibrant community of Filipino women entrepreneurs and creative solopreneurs with a mission to build sisterhood in the hustle, and we were invited to be part of a panel called "Turn Up the Volume: Pinays in Music & Media". It was a day full of inspiration, connection, and Filipino love.

First we sit down with Gina Mariko Rosales (Founder and Event Producer for Pinayista and Make it Mariko) and her mother Lillian Rosales for a beautiful discussion about intergenerational healing, and then you'll hear from Lisa Angulo Reid (CEO & Co-Founder of Dear Flor) on the importance of owning our own businesses, followed by Chef Charleen Caabay (CEO & Co-Founder, Culinary Creative Entrepreneur, and first Filipino-American female chef to win Food Network's Chopped) on the beauty of Filipino food and grief as a part of growth, and we cap it off with LadyRAY (former radio personality for 106.1 KMEL and Community Engagement Director) on community and women in media.
