Wear Your Story Spotlight: Gigi & D’Annalyn

For Gigi, Filipino culture began at home, through her mother from Ilocos Norte.

“No matter what state or country you live in, you are never alone. Filipino community stays connected.”

Family, hospitality, and strong community bonds are values she lives by — and proudly passes on to her daughter.

For D’Annalyn, a junior in the Running Start program earning her AA in Nursing, Filipino culture was experienced through her mom’s family and community.

“I see how Filipinos support one another. That connection is why I’m proud to call myself Filipino.”

For Gigi, representation is deeply personal:

“I’m proud to be a Pinay and to represent my mom’s country. My daughter isn’t fully Filipino, but she’s learned so much through her grandma and the Filipino community.”

Together, their story reminds us that Filipino identity isn’t just inherited — it’s shared, taught, and strengthened through generations.
