Manananggal - Why We Need to Stop Separating Ourselves - EP 29

I'm wasted after my bachelor party, and my friend is filling up with gas when I hear something in the tree line.. I don't know why I'm drunk again in this episode's story, but today I explore a monster from the Philippines, the manananggal. It's another take on belonging, but more so how by separating ourselves into compartments, we're actively attacking spaces of belonging. I dive into what it means to code-switch, when it might be necessary, and how we can create a world where everyone can be their whole selves.
