“I don’t look Filipino, I don’t speak Filipino… and I’m made to feel like I’m not Filipino.”

In this episode, Mishma Mukith sits down with fellow production teammate, Jenna Propp, to unpack the big “I” word: identity. As the half-white daughter to an immigrant Filipina, Jenna speaks candidly about navigating her identity as a mixed race individual.
