Rewarded for Being Filipino Everywhere but Home: The Story of Amihan Ruiz

In a Filipino language class at New York University, adjunct professor Amihan Ruiz is building a space where Filipino American students can feel relaxed, accepted, and “enough” when they talk about being Filipino. Through field trips to Little Manila, theater-inspired exercises, and honest conversations about shame, identity, and going home, her class turns language learning into a practice of healing and connection. This video is a portrait of one teacher navigating what it means to be rewarded for being Filipino outside the Philippines, while helping her students reclaim the language they never fully received. #FilipinoAmerican #TagalogClass #HeritageLanguage #FilAmStories #NYU #LanguageAndIdentity #LittleManila
