Hey angels! How's your Good Friday going? 👼🏽⁣

This week’s #𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐁𝐢𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬 introduces 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨. She is currently an Arts and Design student from De La Salle University majoring in Theater Arts. Fun fact: She directed “Bronze, Silver, Gold, at Anting-anting”, the MMFF 2019 Student Short Film Category Special Jury Award winner, alongside one of The Lakambini’s very own members! ⁣

“How can a woman feel empowered?” ⁣

⁣

“It’s important to remember that we don’t need to fall into a singular, male-written, female character trope. Women can feel empowered by dressing like a slut or dressing like a librarian and both are still very much capable of reading a book and having hot sex. Women can feel empowered after getting married or after going through the worst breakup and both are just as ferocious and independent. A woman can be a figure of sensuality, safety, love, and destruction, which is a character not a single garbage male writer could ever fantasize about. Empowerment comes from knowing we don’t just survive in a world dominated by the patriarch, we thrive in it.”
