Episode Synopsis "Episode 7: Culturally Relevant"
On this episode of Be More Vocal, Nick Rolan Gonzaga and I came together for our longest episode yet! As a Filipino who ended up attending college in Tennessee, there's a lot to be said for Nick's diversity and cultural experiences. I had the pleasure of discussing the nature of culture with him and ended up speaking on church culture, the riots and protests of 2020, racial identity, and of course, food. What I find separates Nick from a lot of others however when it comes to cultural identity is his philosophy that you should embrace your own unique experience and not try to be fake or promote a persona of yourself. Yes stereotyping is a thing but there's no need to buy into that when your own experiences are just as authentic as someone else's. You are Californian by having a connection to it; not from the brands you wear or where you live or the food trucks you've visited...we talked about food a ton! So please enjoy this discussion and let us know your thoughts. As always, you can find me on Instagram at be_more.rad and Twitter at be_rad_ly. --- Special thanks to: -Mosu Beats (@mosubeats on Twitter & Instagram) for the background music!
