In this episode of Cracking the Coconut, Jasmine and Carla talk about Filipino Americans only claiming their heritage when it's convenient for them. But that's far from the truth! Filipino culture in the diaspora is alive and well, and Filipinos all over the world are doing what they can to stay connected to their culture, despite assimilation.

Coconut Juice - Episode 1: Little Mermaid & Representation

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!
