In this episode of Future Ancestors, we sit down with Monica Krystle Rose, the creative force behind the viral series “Sorry Po! I’m Not A Nurse.” Monica shares what inspired the phrase and dives into how it has sparked important conversations about breaking Filipino stereotypes, particularly the assumption that Filipinos can only excel in nursing.

We explore Monica’s family roots in the Philippines, her photography, and how her artistic perspective helped shape this impactful series. Monica also reflects on the pushback she received from the community and how those interactions fueled even deeper discussions about Filipino identity and representation.

Now a parent, Monica discusses the lessons and traditions she hopes to pass on to her child, while also working to break the cycle of limiting stereotypes. She shares heartfelt wisdom from her upbringing that resonates differently now as a parent, and how she’s building her legacy as a Future Ancestor.

Tune in to hear Monica’s inspiring story, her creative journey, and her vision for redefining what it means to be Filipino.
