MEET THE FOUNDER OF SiiT
Kumusta? Ako si Regina.
I’m a first-generation Filipino immigrant with a background in arts, storytelling, and community-centered work.
I’m also the creator of Say it in Tagalog (SiiT), a cultural/creative platform that helps Filipino and Filipino-American families (re)connect with our language, culture, and identity through a weekly newsletter, one-on-one SiiT sessions, and creative workshops.
Say it in Tagalog is my love letter to our language and to the generations finding their way back to it. It’s a gentler approach to (re)connecting with Tagalog and the Filipino culture, rooted in conversation, creativity, curiosity, and emotional connection. It’s a reminder that belonging can exist even before fluency.
My hope is that you leave this space feeling more connected to yourself, your roots, and the generations before you — whether you are a fluent speaker or simply beginning your journey with Tagalog — one meaningful word at a time.
