Episode 5: Brown Skin is Beautiful

This is CRACKING THE COCONUT, a not-so-average podcast that tackles taboo topics in the Filipino community with hopes to bridge the gap between Filipino-Americans and Filipinos back home in the motherland.
CRACKING THE COCONUT is hosted by two millennial Filipino-Americans, Carla Jay and Jasmine, who both have diverse, vibrant backgrounds. Together they have 13 years of working in the entertainment industry where they noticed a scarcity of their people working backstage and in the mix of L.A.’s biggest live events. 
Each week, Carla and Jasmine will crack coconuts through unfiltered, safe-space discussions. Let’s find common ground and shift perspectives, by cracking one coconut at a time. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Slide thru!
