We’re excited to share that Essence Planner was recently featured by Pilipino Ka Ba, a platform by JV Gonzales celebrating Filipino culture, community, and businesses.
The feature came during a special milestone for Essence Planner: our first-ever pop-up on the East Coast in New York City.
As a Filipina-owned brand, being highlighted by a platform that creates space for Filipino stories and businesses means so much to us. Essence Planner was born out of our own experiences navigating mental health, culture, family, and the pressure to always keep going. Representation has always been a big part of why we created this brand, so being recognized within the Filipino community feels especially meaningful.
Getting to bring Essence Planner from Los Angeles to New York City and connect with a new community was already a huge moment for us. To have that experience captured and shared through Pilipino Ka Ba made it even more special.
We’re grateful to JV Gonzales and the Pilipino Ka Ba team for featuring Essence Planner and helping shine a light on Filipino-owned businesses and the people behind them.
From our first pop-up in LA to our first East Coast pop-up in New York, we’re incredibly grateful for every community that continues to make space for Essence Planner.
