manalig | trust

My name is Vina.
Here, I share my my healing + parenting journey
towards living rooted, whole and free.
I believe in the medicine of listening to the earth,
honoring the voice of our bodies
and learning from our children
so we can re-member who we are and
live the life we and our ancestors hope for.

Lessons I’m Learning On How to Resist and Thrive

Lessons I’m Learning On How to Resist and Thrive

So lately, I’ve been focusing my energies on three things: working on dismantling my internalized racism/anti-blackness (yes even as a NBPOC, I have also been conditioned towards implicit bias towards whiteness and the work never stops) loving myself, taking care of myself and my family and reconnecting with my Filipino roots before colonization had colorized and Christianized our way of… Read More

Mothering As Resistance

Mothering As Resistance

If I let the number of times I was convinced I have f*cked my children up keep me down, I wouldn’t be here at all. My children would be motherless.
