Description:

Pinayism, developed by Dr. Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, explores the notion of a RADICAL PINAY SISTERHOOD that connects the GLOBAL, LOCAL, and PERSONAL stories of PINAY struggle, survival, service, SELF-LOVE, SHAPESHIFTING, SOLIDARITY, and strength to mentally, physically, politically, and spiritually UPLIFT ourselves (Tintiangco-Cubales & Sacramento, 2021). In this interactive presentation, Allyson will share the epistemology journey of Pinayism through vulnerable and poetic storytelling. She will also share how Pinays have expanded the scope of Pinayism in the worlds of art, activism, and academia.
