Allyson Remigio (@allysonr) is a Baddie from the Bay to Vegas and now Sac. Her research interests include Integrative Health & Wellness, and Motherscholarship. She currently works in rare disease education. BB hosts sit to catch up with Ally on (visiting the Philippines, tiny home living, and parenting). Together they hop on zoom to talk about grief in our Filipino culture and families.

How do we, as Filipino-Americans, deal with the (corporeal) loss of loved ones and of those closest to us?

On today’s episode, we share the honor of remembering Teresa Dancel Fernandez nearly a year after her passing. We invite Allyson to recall the depth of their love and to impart with us her navigation of grief. It is our longest episode to date, but is best delivered in its full completion as tribute.
