Part 8: Making Caring Sexy

8/16/2016

0 Comments

 
I saw Kristina Bustos for the first time onstage at Raised Pinay, an incredible piece of theatre that I was lucky enough to be able to attend. It featured over a dozen Filipina women sharing their experiences of what it is like to be raised pinay. At the end of the show that I attended, I remember sobbing, realizing how untapped the Filipina experience often is when it comes to storytelling. I will forever be inspired by this piece of theatre. You can learn more about it here: http://raisedpinay.strikingly.com/

Kristina is an incredibly inspiring woman who is starting a blog that features art by Asian American women. I got to take photos of her to feature on the about page of her new blog, which I'm very excited to read! During the day, Kristina works with the elderly, a vocation that requires incredible compassion and love. My favorite quote from our time together was, "I want to make it sexy to care for the elderly." Oftentimes, when it comes to giving, it is easy to give to children or to other specific needs, like to the disabled or to the sick because we can tell ourselves that we are helping the future, and like Kristina shared, it's easier to see where your money or efforts are going and it's easier to see those efforts pay off and grow. It's harder to see that with the elderly, so it requires a really beautiful persona, like Kristina's to work for such an important cause.

Kristina interviewed me about The Creation Trade for her blog, Arawsol. I will link it here when it is available online!

For now, enjoy the photos of Kristina below:

    What is the project? 1 hour of photos, and images in exchange for something YOU made and have put love into :)

    My Creation Trade project hopes to encourage people to pursue their passions and take time to make something, anything, out of love as a response to the tragedies, politics, deaths, wars and other pain and suffering in the world. Can't wait to continue trading one of my passions for one of yours. Let's create loving work for the world together.
