What a time it is to be a Filipino/a/x!

Hidilyn Diaz, the Filipina Olympic Weightlifting Champion, won the Philippines its first-ever Olympic gold medal. What a feat that is. Her win is not only historic on an Olympic level but for young Filipina women around the world, within the athletic landscape in the Philippines, and really for all Asians. Also in this episode, a new schedule for the WLGYC podcast, the lack of having an athletic role model like Hidilyn Diaz at a young age, and more.

Much love,
