We invite our Sama-Sama Bow Valley community to listen, learn, and reflect alongside our neighbours.

Maybe it's your first Truth and Reconciliation event. Maybe you've been on this journey for a while. Either way, we'd love for you to gather with community. Reconciliation isn't a one-day thing, but even one day of showing up, listening, and learning can be a meaningful place to start.

Wala kang kailangang dalhin kundi ang sarili mo, at bukas na tenga at puso.

Please note: These are community events and are not organized by Sama-Sama Bow Valley. We're sharing them to help amplify local opportunities for learning and reflection.

Sa kontekstong Pilipino, ang “asog” ay kadalasang lalaki na nananamit at kumikilos bilang babae. Bago tayo masakop, ang mga asog ay ginagalang bilang babaylan o spiritual leaders.

[In the Filipino context, “asog” historically refers to indigenous, gender-fluid or tans-feminine individuals. Before colonization, asog were respected as spiritual leaders.]

Tara at sundan ang istorya ni Jaya, isang nonbinary (o walang kasarian) na g**o, komidyante, at drag queen na nawalan ng trabaho at binaybay ang Tacloban at Sicogon para sumali sa mga beauty pageants matapos ang Super Typhoon Yolanda.

[Let’s follow Jaya’s story, a nonbinary teacher, comedian, and drag performer who lost their job and travelled Tacloban and Sicogon to join beauty pageant in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Haiyan.]

Pagkatapos manood, samahan natin sila Jodi, Lanny, at Isa na pag-usapan ‘yung film. 🌈

[After the film, join Jodi, Lanny, and Isa for a panel discussion. 🌈]
