What is ageism and why should we care?

Fostering connections between individuals of different ages engenders mutual respect and empathy, which, in turn, helps quash ageist stereotypes.

KINAIYA : Story behind the SheTalksAsia x ...

Kinaiya is a Cebuano word that means ‘inner being’. The collection features different variations of the Binakol weave. These pieces not just as an expression of our pride and love for our culture, but as an armour that reflects our character, and strengthens our confidence to take on the challenges of every day.

Coping through Nesting

The longer we we were forced to stay inside, the more all our clutter and disorder seemed to taunt us. So we did what every other Youtube-raised millennial did best, we googled some DIY videos and made it our pandemic project to fix our home.

Letter for my future self

My wish for us at 40 is that we have learned to embrace the varying seasons of our life, and to gracefully hold both hope and hopelessness whenever they co-exist in a single moment.

While feminism seems to be en vogue (based on the proliferation of statement slogan shirts and branded empowerment campaigns targeted towards women), many are still intimidated by the term or are afraid to be associated as one. For some Filipinos, the word feminist is synonymous to being a man-hater, angry activist, or closeted lesbian.

Dermalogica founder Jane Wurwand doesn't like the word 'beauty'

“I believe the term beauty when applied to a person is both objectifying and limiting…

Ultimate beauty is to be unique, significant, and authentic to our true selves, no matter what our appearance, shape, or anything else about the superficial, it is about our identity.”

Next to Normal
