I let myself think a little bit.
Tenoch has spoken openly about colorism and racism and how that has affected him personally. He's talked about how he tried to assimilate into that elitist culture. How he lost his voice and it took him a lot to find himself again. To embrace who he was and how acceptable he was in his true state. Not just the tanned skin but also his features, his voice, and his different talents.
I feel like I am on a similar journey. I've fought with myself over internalized racism. Wanting to be lighter and thinner because that's the 'Asian standard of beauty'. But it's such a closed off standard. I was born tan. My people live beneath the sun and play on beaches. Our culture and identity was stripped from us. I and many other Filipinos have now come to embrace the heritage we have. And as I've delved into the mythos of the Philippines, learning origins of words I have heard daily that no one had taught me, I am so sad to see how much has been lost. I hope someone can take up that mantle for us in a public setting the way Tenoch is doing. I am embracing my skin, my features, and the good and bad things of my place of origin. I am writing in an aim to eventually write a novel based on the lost mythology of the Philippines. I want to make that contribution to the world because I gave up before.
I was an actor for 10 years from adolescence into adulthood. I was told to my face that I 'wasn't the right type of asian'. That I didn't have the 'look' they wanted despite being told numerous times by numerous people, peers and professors and mentors, that I had god given talent. But aside from personal issues in my life, I couldn't also handle the constant feelings of being an actor who was talented but would never be good enough because of my looks.
I admire Tenoch's tenacity and drive because I wish I had that. But I ultimately gave up acting. I remember crying so hard the last day I walked away from the stage knowing that that chapter of my life was over. Knowing that something that helped shape who I am, gave me confidence, and made me feel truly happy was being put to rest. I miss it so much. But it is still so gratifying to see how the world around me has changed. I couldn't have imagined so much asian representation, indigenous stories, and diversity in media 10 years ago the way it is today.
I hope if there is anyone else out there like the girl I was. The little filipino girl who knew she could act better than all those teleserias her grandma watches. I hope she is confident enough to make a space for herself. I hope actors like Tenoch continue to blaze pathways for lesser seen representation. That they add to the variety of faces we see for each culture and identity.
To all the young actors out there.
Pursue it with all your heart. Have no regrets. Blaze bright.
