Allyson Remigio: Good Grief

Allyson Remigio (@allysonr [https://www.instagram.com/allysonr/]) is a Baddie from the Bay to Vegas and now Sac. Her research interests include Integrative Health & Wellness, and Motherscholarship. She currently works in rare disease education. BB hosts sit to catch up with Ally on (visiting the Philippines, tiny home living, and parenting). Together they hop on zoom to talk about grief in our Filipino culture and families. How do we, as Filipino-Americans, deal with the (corporeal) loss of loved ones and of those closest to us? On today’s episode, we share the honor of remembering Teresa Dancel Fernandez nearly a year after her passing. We invite Allyson to recall the depth of their love and to impart with us her navigation of grief. It is our longest episode to date, but is best delivered in its full completion as tribute.

Sailor Moon: In the name of the moon, I’ll parasuhan you!

Anime was a big part of our collective childhood as Filipina/o/x Americans and as Asian Americans. Sailor Moon is iconic and we know that our listeners stand. What makes this anime so pivotal in shaping 90s kids in our community? Today our Bruha Baddies cohosts reminisce how this show had deeper layers that led to a more intellectual awakening as adults especially with its queer and feminist under and overtones.
