As a child, primary school was unkind to me. Growing up in a small country town where coming from a mixed race family was alien, the racial taunts were abundant and my thick black hair and dark complexion were a dead giveaway that I was different. Let alone my proud Filipino mother. Emotionally too weak to deal with the racial slurs, my body responded and became my savior. I learned to use my physicality as means of defence. I was the kid so puffed up on bravado and aggression yet so full of pain. I carried this peacock posture all the way through high school, making sure I was the biggest, strongest and angriest as a device to ward of the would be tormentors.

happy 33rd birthday bob morley! (december 20, 1984)
“The one thing I do find really inspiring for me is when there’s like, there’s been Filipino, half-Pinoy people turn up to me at conventions and stuff like that. I didn’t realise how much it meant for the Filipino Community for me to be representing them. That means a lot to me especially when I think about how proud my mum would be.”
