Welcome to 100 Ways to Filipino, a storytelling project and living archive brought to you by Dear Flor CEO and co-founder, Lisa Angulo Reid.

Our mission has always been to share Filipino culture with the world. We’re doing it through our gummies and now we’re doing it through the personal stories of Filipino Americans to explore just how we Filipino.

Through interviews and reflections on identity, we’re going to talk about everything. From how we got here, to our history, and how we express ourselves, this space is dedicated to celebrating the countless ways we show up in the world as Filipinos.

Whether you’re Filipino, Filipino American, part of the diaspora, or just someone who loves learning about culture, food, family, and identity, you belong here.
