Addressing Colorism within Filipino culture | Rice Bowl Conversations

In this episode, we tackle colorism within the Filipino community in our Rice Bowl Conversation series. Rooted in colonialism, Filipino culture has seen its fair share of skin whitening products, the lack of brown skin representation in Philippine media, and how it affects the Filipinx diaspora outside the Philippines.

We discuss how one another has grown up with their skin color in the United States as Filipinx-Americans, beauty standards, challenging colonial mentality, and how we can uplift the next Filipinx generation.
