From the heart of Manila to the streets of Sydney — Brenda’s journey is one of ancestral pride, personal grief, and unwavering purpose.
In this stirring episode, Brenda unpacks the legacy of colonisation in the Philippines, the quiet strength of her mother Electa, and the birth of a movement grounded in shared humanity kapwa. When her mother passed in March 2020, Brenda turned her grief into a legacy of impact, founding Women of Colour Australia a love letter to her mum, and a mission for us all.
We speak about:
✨ Internalised oppression and reclaiming identity
✨ The beauty of accents as ancestral gifts
✨ Creating safe and powerful spaces for Women of Colour
✨ Building community from the ground up no playbook, just purpose
✨ Her vision for WoCA: from executive leadership to systemic change
“When I speak, I speak with the spirit of my ancestors. My accent is not a flaw it’s the sound of my land.”
This episode is a celebration of women who take up space, build movements, and remind us that we are all connected.
