Loisse Ledres is a Filipina freelance designer and illustrator based in the Southwest of what is colonially known as the United States. She is always experimenting to discover how image, text and color intersects with culture to empower and mobilize people. Through her skillset in experiential design, she infuses interactivity within creative media and event spaces. She's worked with organizations and creative agencies in NYC, San Francisco, LA and New Mexico.  Loisse is also developing personal projects with like-minded creatives that facilitate creativity and breakdown obstacles to doing so. As Creative Director of Tagalikha, she helps lead discussions around the intersection of Filipino identity and creation. She hopes to continue creating art that helps people feel seen and inspired to access their own creativity, too.

As Asian folx – and as Filipinos who have high standards for ourselves – we are always stricken with the feeling of being mediocre: just okay, good enough, nothing special. This feeling can manifest itself as an inner voice (critic even), a lack of motivation, the loss of trust in oneself, and – overall – defeat. For today's episode, we're going to talk about something that we're good at feeling – feeling mediocre – and hopefully find ways to get out of that and also the will to accept it.

How many of us have grown up playing video games? How many of us have had parents buy us video games? And then in the same vein, scoot us over to busy ourselves with video games while they tsimis, unwind, or do other things? Like a babysitter, third parent, or friend, video games have been in Filipino households from the 80s and beyond. Today we reminisce about our relationship to video games and how as adults these are becoming avenues for mental health even while it is arguably today corrupting the “youth”?

After 2 years of surviving a global pandemic (i.e.intense quarantining, fearing for our lives, and mask mandates), have our values and ways of decision-making shifted in how we relate or want from the world? As most of us have returned to our day jobs in-person, did we return exactly the same? Maybe? Let's fuck around and find out. With 2022 cooling down the hot-ass desert, let's talk about possible transitions on the horizon, contemplation, or themifestation.

Have you ever been in a conversation among other Filipinos about income, only to be followed up with a question about your profession? Are you guilty of, or have you been given unsolicited financial advice? Have you observed your parents/elders give away money they don't have? “Debt,” “Pagpapautang/Lend,” “Remittance,” and “Income” are all key terms in our culture about money. In today's conversation, we uncover some wounds when it comes to understanding, navigating, and obtaining money.   Join us for Part 1 of this very long, poignant conversation.

Today's episode is part one of a multi-part series where we nerd TF out about TRESE.

Alexandra Trese is literally a Bruha Baddie: witchy, badass, flawed, and in need of a good therapist.

"FILIPINO AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY DOES NOT EXIST. AND SO HOW DO WE MAKE IT EXIST?"-Kat Aben Special Guest Kat Aben converses with Jean and Daniel about her journey as a as an Archaeologist (a field our filipino/a/x community rarely pursuit). Kat is a Doctoral Candidate with a specialty in historical archaeology and Filipino-American heritage. She is currently employed as a federal archaeologist.

Leadership is a sensitive topic in our Filipinx community. And the reasons for this are layered. Being part of a Diasporic community and histories of dictatorship, there can be clashing definitions of what leadership, community, progress, and legacy mean. Sometimes our best intentions to come together, operate in mechanisms that drive us apart. Join us today on BB as we reminisce about our interactions within culture when it comes to Filipinx leadership.   Shout outs: @tasiamacaraeg (Tasia Macaraeg) @mommavie (Vilma Gorre) @dcsantos9 (Daniel Santos) @desire_encouragement (Desiré Galvez) Shout outs : Dr. Constancio Arnaldo https://www.unlv.edu/people/constancio-arnaldo Dr. Francisco Sy https://www.unlv.edu/people/francisco-sy Jason Sarmiento https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/author/jason-sarmiento/   Recommendations: Daniel A feelings wheel Pistachio muffins Water Nicole:  Those lil bulalo instant noodle cups. @iaf_inc Hoka x Cotopaxi collab @rei Jean @djmoeejito @perennialpress Marinna Benzon @wastedinkzinedistro

Much of our identity is shaped by how our parents raised us. Are their expectations of us based on their parents’ expectations of them? Do we carry those same expectations onto others in our lives? Is this a uniquely Filipino experience? If so, how?Today, we dig deep into the people we call our parents. Did/does Diasporic parenting impact our values? ARE WE OUR PARENTS? ________________________ Instagram friends to follow: Drag King @Kreme Inakuchi & True Crime Stories Filipino Style @lagimpodcast Past Guests dropping in hellos Ria Yap and Diana Calica ________________________ Recommendations: Nicole: Sleeping with two weighted blankets.

One of the many indicators in our diasporic community as Filipinx is language barriers. Philippines has many dialects, first/second/third gen and beyond are sometimes raised without the dialect of their family, parents make intentional choices about being an english only assimilated home, and the list of barriers upon barriers are complex, layered, and nuanced.  Today we sit with the co-hosts (Daniel Nero, Nicole Espinosa, and Jean Munson) on their experiences with language barriers, navigating in and around that, or experiencing the marginalization that occurs when one language is superior over the other.

CW/TWarning As bruha/x with our witchy Walang Hiya ways, all the cohosts have pets aka familiars. Pets that we refer to often as our family members. I wanted to look up what the cultural relationship Filipinx have with animals. The top 3 things came up in Jean's google search, We eat dogs. Dogs are the number 1 pets by Filipinos followed by cats. (SURPRISINGLY!!!??) This information on relationships conflict and the limited research creates a gap in knowing the actual closeness and fondness that exists in our culture with nature’s creatures. So today, our Bruha Baddies team sits down to reflect on familiars/pets and how they impacted us in healthy ways (mind & body) as well. Sources used: Allan B. de Guzman, Denise S.

I also got 5 other books delivered to my “home” library because I requested them. I also listen to great courses and ebooks through the library apps. So many things to learn about. In transit: a book about Asian myths -- two are from the PI. Cast Iron Skillet: Truly a nice thing to have in the kitchen. They’re easy to maintain (only water and a non-metal scrubber, no soap –– then oil it up), and they’re good for cooking burgers, steaks, biscuits and gravy, stews, oh my god. So good so good. I’m southern now Scriabin Etude 42 no 5: For the pianists out there -- the tempo is marked as “affanato” meaning “breathless” or “without breath”. So the whole time, the melody is playing within a  storm, like it’s trying to get out of chaos --- and when it does, it’s pure tenderness. (But there’s only small bits of tenderness.) This piece makes me cry on really sad days. Give it a listen on YouTube. Rose Listen to classical versions of songs. Makes you feel fancy (I’m having a Bridgerton phase) Trying not to take myself too seriously! I feel being able to joke about myself HEALTHily is a good way to have some sense of reflection and understanding Kristian Kabuay - baybayin.com Jean Headspace the App for peace of mind and practice for noting (clearing the mind from anxious to do lists, self flagellation, and being mindful in the present moment) Drops the App is for intellectual stimulation (teaching myself tagalog bit by bit and was originally recommended by Nicole) It’s funny because the words I have a sense of familiarity is all the food terms like talong, hipon, and kape. Emjoy the App is for exploring my sexuality, kinks, self esteem, and desires. and There’s audio for masturbating to or exploring deeply rooted sexual trauma. There’s queer content on here as well.  

Raised on the notion of meritocracy and that hard work leads to success, we reflect on work-from-home conditions from 2020. Does it challenge the Model Minority. If so, how? By making us negotiate whether or not we deserve to practice pausing. Guilt, being called “lazy,” and having to prove self worth through productivity may have come up for our Bruha Baddies hosts.

Many times in our Filipinx/a/o community art is something to stray from, romanticize, or only hold value if it's lucrative. On Bruha Baddies, we want to identify folks that use it as part of an overall healing for themselves that eventually encourages others to participate in art making too. This 3 installment brings it back from Cali and Canada, to Las Vegas. Meet team Co-Zi Las Vegas (Comics and Zines Las Vegas) and within the team is Nicole Espinosa (BB Co-Host), Jean Munson (BB Co-Host), and third co-founder Gina Parham (@artofgina) as they discuss their friendship and community building through their art. Collectively they talk about their different journeys that led to their healing and planning committee.   Episode Recommendations: NicoleMilk + T (@milkandt) → Y’all know how I feel about the electoral college, but I’m gonna give my measly dollars to a QPOC business.

Samonte Cruz (@samontecruzstudios) → They’re a Canadian-based badass who posts really cool goldsmithing content and are rooted in decolonization (business ethics, land back, ancestral history, self care, etc). I stan TF out of them. They also made my wedding ring, which I get hella compliments on. Get to know more about them in an interview posted on their IG and buy from their shop. Tron (@losingshape) → I’ve been in the TronDon since Livejournal, lol!
