The Filipino Story: A Born-Again Filipino Story
Dr. Leny Strobel calls this awakening the “Born-Again Filipino” experience, a journey of rediscovering the identity, wisdom, and beauty within us that centuries of colonial history could never erase.
In this episode of Culture Bearers, Dr. Strobel shares her own journey home and reminds us of a beautiful possibility for Filipinos everywhere: To remember who we are. To reclaim what was forgotten. And to express our beauty. 🇵🇭
