We connected four different cities in one night with a packed lineup of live performances and DJ sets from King Marie (CHI), Kristina Alcordo (TO), Butta B (MNL) with Hella L, Guerrilla Pump, Bellspins, and our host Nic Feliciano holding it down at Stablished Studios in Oakland, CA.

My first club event series in the Bay, SALBAHE was inspired by the iconic K Rizz song and centered WOC performers, DJs, artists and vendors. Intended to reclaim the term SALBAHE – which means naughty but also comes from the Spanish word for savage i.e. barbaric and uncivilized, and often used as a term of contempt – I wanted to create a safe space for women and femmes to get free, as well as bring together small WOC owned-businesses, tarot readers, nail artists, etc. We curated the outdoor space for 7th West’s grand opening, brought King Marie out to 111 Minna for her first Bay Area gig at the Ruby Ibarra UNDSCVRD afterparty, and had a fucking blast tbh.

Designed and developed merchandise for UNDSCVRD SF, a curated monthly night market of emerging artists and merchants as part of a multi-prong non-profit strategy designed to jump-start economic activity and build a thriving new commercial corridor in the SOMA Pilipinas cultural district. For the 2018 season I executed merch strategy, designed and built the merch booth, and managed PD/production, e-commerce and social media. For the first part of the 2019 season, I curated and managed a Hella Pinay tent that was all WOC artists and retailers, as well as threw the official Jocelyn Enriquez afterparty.
