The reason I’m talking about it
Something that’s important to me is keeping us on the forefront of important conversations in tech and innovation. historically, underrepresented communities, mainly marginalized communities of color, have been left behind in the conversations, where power and resources move, such as finance, investing, and we know that financial illiteracy, keeps people behind. But by staying in the know of technological advancements and how things work is what keeps us upfront, able to raise our hand, to be in emerging spaces. What sparked this convo? A AI-generated "Filipino Barbie" from a Buzzfeed article, along with other problematic presentations of Barbies from "around the world. My approach to this is that, this is less about getting mad about buzzfeed or ai although buzzfeed (critical commentary vs their neutral look at thes e cute barbies)
- How we should be critical of AI potentially reinforcing stereotypes and racial biases, and clearly the need to put out better imagery of filipino women, which is what I do here on the filipina on the rise, all about putting out diverse representation we can be proud about, decolonizing us online/in media, promoting filipina excellence
tech and innovation is something I’m very passionate excited about like dr gloria, I’m really about technology for good, always trying to stay on the forefront of, I used to work in tech. I still want to, not only do I think it’s very important we are staying in the know of emerging spaces
AI is something that whether we like it or not will be in normalized and influencing our lives, so it’s only to our advantage we stay AI-literate, and like we say here, become a steward of AI & technology for good!

A Guide to Opening Yourself Up to Reinvention and New Dreams With Restauranteur, Award-Winning Author & Chef Nicole Adrienne Ponseca
Filipina on the Rise
01/12/23 • 67 min
Today we’re joined by restaurateur, award-winning author & chef, Nicole Ponseca.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- Krystl and Nicole both share recent pivots in life and the challenges that come with opening yourself up to new dreams and reinvention
- The important lessons taught by Nicole’s father around what it means to be Filipino in their family
- How Filipino values and culture factored into Nicole’s own career growth and how she run her businesses
- Advice for being better prepared when chasing your dream and how to face the challenge of funding your dreams when all you have is.. your dreams
- How Nicole overcame the western ideals of what is good in food to showcase the unique and delicious elements of filipino food
Importance of This Episode
At one point or another, many of us have experienced a pivot. Some type of significant change, whether in our careers or personal lives, voluntary or not. For Nicole, she went from VP in Advertising to a role in the restaurant industry. She is a great example of listening to that voice in the back of your mind saying, “you’re supposed to be doing something else,” and then stepping out and doing it. Opening yourself up to reinvention and new dreams can be risky and scary, but there are so many lessons that can be learned from Nicole’s own journey of creating a different lens around Filipino food, especially in the mainstream culinary world.
