Hella Pinay

Hiiiieeee I know it’s been awhile and tbh we have some big HP announcements coming soon! But in the meantime, yr girl curated the absolutely incredible Pinayista summit that’s coming up this Saturday! We chose the theme of ‘Homecoming’ because in this time where we need each other more than ever, we wanted to create a space to reconnect, rebuild, and come back to ourselves and each other. This truly feels like a full circle moment. In the early days of Hella Pinay, Pinayista founder and I connected over our shared passion to create spaces for Pinays to be seen, held, and to thrive. When I moved back to the bay in 2018, she invited me to be on the first Summit planning committee, speak on a panel, and connected me to soooo many community legends. I owe so much to her and was honored when she asked me to curate the return of this 2025 summit at (the amazing, Filipina-owned) in Berkeley.

Swipe to see our super stacked lineup of speakers and facilitators (and HP fam) including .drtherapinay of  of , and soooo many more (plus some hidden nuggets at the end hehe). We’re proud to be sponsored by and work with Filipina/o owned businesses and creatives incl. hallsf and and so many others (IG isn’t letting me tag y’all, booo) Also mega shoutouts to our INCREDIBLE planning committee who’ve held it completely down and without whom this event would not be possible.

This has been truly an honor and a homecoming and I can’t wait to share all our beautiful offerings and welcome you back in community (also it’s my birthday so please come celebrate with me this wknd!!!) Use code ‘HELLAPINAY20’ to get tickets at the early bird price! We also have some sponsored tickets left so if you need financial support, please don’t hesitate to apply! We got you!! Always.
