Welcome to TFAW Letters, a special summer series from The Filipino American Woman Project. I’m your host, Jen Amos. Each week, I will read a fictionalized letter—my creative interpretation of real conversations with you! These letters have been woven with heart, reflection, and truth—to honor your stories while protecting your privacy. It all begins with one line: “If I could say one thing…” Because sometimes, one thing is all we need to take up a little more space.

  • 172: "I just assumed we'd always be friends.” — By Someone Who Still Loves You Like A Sister
    Aug 8 2025

    If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:

    If someone from your past reached out today, what would you say to them?

    This letter is for anyone who got busy with life and unknowingly let a friendship fade—and wondered if it’s too late to say something now.

    The writer reflects on a once-assumed bond that slipped away with time, distance, and neglect. Whether you've been the one who never reached out—or the one who replied with caution—this letter holds space for regret, gratitude, and the courage to acknowledge love that didn’t get closure.

    If you’ve ever looked up an old friend, hovered over the “send message” button, or realized mistakes that only come in hindsight—this one’s for you.

  • 171: "I want what I create to be enough." — By Someone Trusting Her Inner Calling
    Aug 1 2025

    If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:

    What have you held onto not because it’s easy, but because it still matters to you in a way that you can’t explain?

    This letter is for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re holding on too long—or holding on for a reason.

    Through quiet questioning and inherited resilience, the writer explores what it means to stay devoted to projects that no longer look the way they once imagined. Whether you’re building something from scratch, revisiting an old idea, or nurturing a vision that hasn’t quite landed yet, this letter offers permission to not have all the answers.

    If you’ve ever felt torn between letting go and staying loyal to your creative work, this one’s for you.

  • 170: “You deserve to know your body.” — By Someone Ready To Talk About Sex
    Jul 25 2025

    If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:

    What part of your body or sexuality were you taught to ignore—and what would it mean to reclaim it?

    This letter is for anyone raised to believe that sex is shameful, silence is safety, and pleasure is something to fear.

    Through unapologetic truth-telling and cultural honesty, the writer challenges the long-standing taboos around sex in Filipino households—especially those shaped by Catholic doctrine and generational silence. They reflect on how shame has kept us unprepared: for intimacy, for consent, for naming harm, and for experiencing connection that is safe, mutual, and fulfilling.

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, silenced by your culture, or unsure of your right to feel pleasure—this one’s for you.
