I am Khay Hembrador, I was raised as a traditional Roman Catholic, second generation, Filipina, mixed with White (Polish), and Chinese... Born of an immigrant mother that was a product of colonization, and struggles with a tourist-visa father. I was raised by an aunt on the weekends and an uncle who betrayed my trust with men at a young age. My family struggles dysfunctionally to honor traditions, but I keep strong by challenging these traditions, breaking my family’s patterns of abuse and ignorance. My passion to create art comes from the angst and anger of my past experiences, powered by the knowledge and education that has been embedded in me through my college education, and my ambition to be a catalyst for change.
