Beyond the Word

"Maarte is my childhood nickname. Everyone in my family calls me Maarte because I'm always too extra about everything. I would not go out without having my hair fixed. I would not wear something that is not ironed. I'd always wear some cheap but nice smelling kid's perfume. My family didn't have much growing up, but my Nanay and Lola always made sure I feel good about myself even as a young kid. I'm Maarte because of them. I'm Maarte because they built my confidence and made sure I know who I am." - Lavlie

Before reading the narrative below, this is an important reminder that being a woman, a Filipina, does not necessarily mean having a Pekpek (Vagina). 💖

-

As a young Pina/xy growing up, how many of us have been shamed by talking about our period? How many of us were associated to being mataray, suplada or maldita just because it's that "time of the month"? How many of us did not learn about safe sex and sexuality at a young age because it's a topic that's deemed shameful? And because talking about our Pekpeks is deemed makasalanan (sinful)?

The Pekpek tee being a part of our collection is definitely something we're extremely proud of. Kaya let's go! Help us normalize these conversations. Help us empower our Pekpeks!

Beyond the Word

"You're going to laugh, as a kid, I literally thought the word Kayumanggi meant "magic" or "magical" or "enchanting". I don't know how I even got to this conclusion as a young child, maybe because the word itself written out or verbally said...it sounded like a fantastically magical thing. It sounded like something that bore a lot of meaning, like the word itself was alive with untapped stories.

And I know that all sounds cheesy, but it wasn't until my 20s I learned what it meant - "brown-skinned". Here I was thinking the majority of my life that it meant one thing, but maybe I did get it somehow right as a young child. Being brown is magical." - M.M.
