On May 25, 2022, BongBong Marcos was elected President of the Philippines. He is the son of Ferdinand Marcos Sr, who ran a brutal 20 year dictatorship. So in this bonus episode, Motzie Dapul (Hi Nay Podcast) briefly goes over the terrors of martial law and the notorious legacy of the Marcoses, and fellow podcaster Philippine Campfire Stories shares the tragic true story behind the Manila Film Center. Stories For Change is an offshoot of Stories With Sapphire where I share stories that pertain to important current events that may not give you the fun spooky chills you’re used to, but are nonetheless still horrifying.

American history is a horror story - for Black people, indigenous people, and people of color. And yet mainstream horror cinema has vastly left these groups out of the picture, both on and behind the screen. In this week’s episode, I speak with horror writer Johnny Compton about why that might be, and how we can change that.

When we think of historical movements in American history, people of color are typically excluded from the narrative. And as non-black allies, we need be aware of how to make our allyship more inclusive. In this episode, me and my guest Mindy Scott (Femlore Podcast) will be going over these movements. We are not experts on the topic and simply want to share what we’ve learned, and so we welcome any feedback or corrections.

On Stories With Sapphire, I love sharing stories about Filipino culture, but it no longer feels appropriate to continue doing so without addressing our community’s issues with colorism and anti-blackness. This is my way of learning how to handle these conversations better with certain family members who disagree with me, and I hope hearing other people's stories helps you start these difficult conversations as well.
