Joy Barcoma in her recent TEDxManila talk invites us all to reflect on how it is that we’ve found ourselves in a never-ending act of becoming, each chapter nothing more than a preparation for the next. No surprise that growing up has become so difficult and so exhausting.

But by reminding ourselves that it’s the moments we don’t plan for that we end up remembering the most and mattering the most to us, perhaps we can be more fully present, more human being and not human doing, and ultimately, free us to live life with greater joy.

At the recent TEDxManila, Chef Francis Lacson made a case for Filipino cuisine: we don’t need elevating, or validation from foreigners, because Filipino cuisine was never low in the first place.

In this short comic, we talk about the stigma around HIV testing, and the fear that comes with it. It takes a village to ease that fear.

This is a gentle reminder of our shared responsibility to create a safe, supportive space for friends and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who might be afraid to take that first step.

We hope everyone had a fantastic Pride Month! 🏳‍🌈
