In the first episode of our new series, our co-founders talk about the recent passing of each of their fathers. Leo, Kristine, and Graz sit down in the sala and process through hard conversations about how their dads died, their dads’ dreams, and what they wish they told their dads when they were still alive. If you’re grieving the loss of a parent or struggling mentally for any other reeason, we’ve compiled a list of mental health resources for our Filipino community here — https://bit.ly/mentalhealthforfilipinos Sala Talks is an empathetic series that expresses modern Filipino experiences through intimate conversation. It is compassionate, yet possibly contentious, but most importantly it’s unfiltered. With Filipinos often reserving their problems, the series aims to give the Filipino audience an inside scoop on conversations that may have never happened in the living room, or the sala. By bringing groups of Filipinos into this setting, we can facilitate empathetic conversations and tap into a side of emotional vulnerability that is rarely seen in Filipino households.
