I've been posting every day on TikTok for a month, and let me tell you! It's so much more fun to contribute to the platform than to spectate and doomscroll all the time. It gives me a real reason to open the app lol
Anyway, follow me: tiktok.com/@shaynenuesca

The wave text design is a tribute to my home province, La Union, and a nod to a line in the Philippine national anthem: βAng kislap ng watawat moβy, tagumpay na nagniningningβ (the sparkle of your flag shines with triumph).
βAyat para iti pagilianβ is an Ilokano phrase that means βlove for the homeland / country.β For me, itβs a reminder that love for the Philippines also means showing up and taking action so our kababayan have the protections and fundamental rights they deserve.
Yet even now, as storms approach each year, I watch for updates and messages from back home for reassurance that my family is safe, still waiting and wishing for better for my homeland.
The devastation weβve seen across the Philippines this year is more than just headlines and images for me.
Some of my earliest memories are wading in waist-deep floodwaters and being without power for days. That was nearly 30 years ago.
Holy fuck. Is everyone okay? #earthquakeptsd

I announced that I started a small business/social enterprise supporting the Filipino American community in Anchorage.
I didnβt plan for the launch to fall on the same week as Black Friday/Small Business Saturday (I was going to do this next year).
But here we are and Iβm excited!
Excellent journalism highlighting how the State of Alaska is failing ruralβand predominantly Alaska Nativeβstudents.
βover the past 25 years, state officials have largely ignored hundreds of requests by rural school districts to fix the problems that have left public schools across AK crumblingβ
Iβve been reviving Rooted, my newsletter/online magazine, and Iβm finally getting around to doing some of the writing. Hereβs my first piece β in a minute β about Anchorage artist Liza Dizon and her debut exhibit βReflections.β
so is alaska airlines slowly getting rid of the βalaskaβ branding?
I wrote about changing how and where I show up as a Filipino American trying to build a new sense of community.
shoutout to everyone who believes in me

Please donate to Western Alaska disaster relief efforts to support the response to Typhoon Halong. I won't overexplain how displacement, underfunding and marginalization of Indigenous Peoples have devastated communities. But know this: Our Alaska Native friends and family need us to show up.
