Fareea and Tarchithaa are joined by Stacey (she/her) in a conversation on the oppression and privilege that their intersectional identities allow for as queer members of their respective diasporas. Stacey walks us through the nuances of connecting with her Filipino-American identity, from colorism in the Philippines to differing reflections on a future in America. Recognizing the dismissive actions of white saviors in regards to their home countries, the frustrating realities of being tokenized as a spokesperson in the West also unearths the need to protect the cultural agency of their culture historically disenfranchised by colonialism.
