There’s something so special about finding a room where you don’t have to explain who you are… you just belong. ♥️🇵🇭✨
So grateful for the Filipina on the Rise™ 🇵🇭 NJ Chapter Filipina On The Rise social meetup at Private Events & Rentals | Metuchen, NJ 🇵🇭 Ligaya Grounds Co. | Filipino Coffee & Community · Central NJ where we got to connect over our Filipina heritage, share stories, make new connections, and of course… take a few matcha “shots” together!🤩🍵
And what made this gathering even more meaningful was being surrounded by women who are creating spaces for others to feel seen, celebrated, and at home.
If you don’t know Tiffany yet, you should. Tiffany Joy Argonza | The Kapwa Coach
She is a beautiful reminder of what can happen when you stop trying to fit into rooms that weren’t built for you, and start building your own. As a first-generation Filipina-American, founder of The Studio Ligaya and Ligaya Grounds, she has created exactly that: a space rooted in culture, community, JOY, and belonging.
On September 1, Tiffany launched her chapter, “Unconditionally,” in BE YOU BRAND BOOK VOLUME 3 — sharing her journey of becoming, business leadership, and what it means for women to embrace who they are and make space for others to do the same.
We are leaving this meetup feeling incredibly grateful for our heritage, our community, and these women who show up exactly as they are—and are PROUD to share that with others.
Here’s to taking up space, building our own, and bringing others in with us!♥️👏🏼
