Stories from
our community.
Different lives. Familiar feelings.
Wanting to answer in the language you grew up hearing. Hoping to pass a little more on to your children. Finding a connection you didn’t know you were missing.
Kapwa speaks to a sense of shared identity. These are personal stories of language, family, and belonging. Perhaps you’ll recognize something of your own here.
Every connection starts somewhere.

I wanted to learn Tagalog for my boyfriend and because the Philippines is my favorite travel destination.
