Pinay

The Wing Luke event will also feature local artists rogue pinay and Sendai Era.

Just speaking for myself, the experience of being a young Pinay reader, in elementary school and high school reading predominantly white authors, that's never been an experience of, "Wow. I really have this pure, ahistorical, apolitical relationship to this book that is saying extremely racist things."

Israelah in her Twitter biography describes herself as Pinay, or a woman of Filipino origin.

“As a Pinay, we don’t talk to our parents about that,” she said.

“This teacher who was Pinay said she had never come across a music video like that before where she was seen and her story was told. At the end of the school day, she asked her three Filipina students in her class to stay behind, and they closed the doors and had a private screening. She said she was nearly brought to tears, seeing them at a young age, seeing themselves on screen like that.”
