Share your story - Kuwentuhan with Kapwa: Humans of the Filipino Diaspora

Ahead of the Kabangka's Kapwa Rising Anti-Asian Racism Community Conference, we want you to contribute to the creation of Kuwentuhan with Kapwa highlighting our stories of anti-Asian racism to call attention to the importance of our experiences in the Filipino diaspora.

Inspired by the Filipinos of Montreal and Humans of New York, we are creating an anti-Asian racism awareness campaign called the Humans of the Filipino Diaspora. We aim to share the lived experiences of Filipinos in the diaspora as we face anti-Asian racism in our lives, our systems and in ourselves. 

Racism manifests in various forms - from our everyday interactions such as discrimination, practices in an institution, to the history, culture and current reality of your experiences as a person of colour. Learn more about the various forms of racism

This campaign aims to bring awareness to the real experiences of anti-Asian racism and encourage people to join the conversation at the upcoming Kapwa Rising Anti-Asian Racism Community Conference in Toronto from May 3-5, 2024. 

Please fill out the form below to get involved - we're requesting for the following: 

  • Name (can indicate if you would like to remain anonymous) 

  • A few sentences of your experience(s)

  • Photo (portrait) of yourself or a place that has significant meaning to you and your experiences 

  • Other information that you would like to share about you and/or your experience(s)

We truly appreciate you taking your time to get involved and sharing your stories as we challenge anti-Asian racism together.
