Raised Pinay at SJU

04/30/2018

Hello everyone!! Although our live shows are over, we are excited to share this Youtube video of our opening performance for those who have yet to witness it (and those who just want to see it again!).
💛
If you are able, please consider choosing-your-own donation value for watching our show. Access is one of the core values of this social justice-based production. These young wom*n poured their most painful and beautiful narratives into this production for the purpose of making reproductive justice a reality for wom*n in the Philippines--that is priceless. However we do not want any price (high or low) to be the reason others can't watch it!
💛
