In our season two opener, award winning internationally acclaimed Filipina photojournalist Xyza Cruz Bacani talks to us about photographing a pandemic, the no home birth policy in the Philippines and other stories. She has recently published a spectacular book, 'We Are Like Air' which highlights the story of the migrant domestic worker. She likens migrant workers to air- 'essential but invisible'. 

N.B. This episode was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, due to unforseen circumstances we have delayed the publishing of our podcast episodes. We are happy to be back recording and publishing them again, and we hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound during this trying time. We are hopeful for better days ahead.

In the last of our three-part series on self care, we sit down with Tricia Centenera (@triciacentenera), who lifts the curtain behind her rose-tinted, bread-scented Instagram life.

Her TV show continues in a new incarnation as #TalkWithTricia on her IG live.
