Cultural Kultivators - Ruby Ibarra

For new and day one fans of Ruby Ibarra, this is a must listen episode bringing us into the mind of our Waray-Waray and Tagalog speaking rapper, director, and spoken word artist. Learn more about what it means to challenge colonial assimilation and redefine success by embracing our indigenous Filipino languages. Hailing from Tacloban City, Ruby sheds light on the complexities of reaching true representation, unlearning imposter syndrome, and building a legacy of inclusivity in the Bay Area music industry and beyond. Co-founder of Pinays Rising Scholarship Program, she has grounded her purpose in giving back to the community with the rise of “Us,” her 2017 collaboration with Faith Santilla and Klassy.  Join us in celebrating being unapologetically Pinay and, in Ruby’s words, “Being a fan of yourself” when it comes to authentically expressing your voice and creative energy!
