Maria Orosa

Hello, Foodies! In this episode, Rachel Lucero, the creator and host of The Sago Show, joins me as we delve into her background and her passion for uncovering the rich histories and cultural significance of Filipino cuisine. We also shine a spotlight on Maria Orosa, a visionary food scientist and advocate of Filipino nationalism. Maria revolutionized the field with her pioneering techniques in canning and preserving native fruits. Her ultimate aim was to fortify her nation's food production autonomy and secure self-sufficiency for her country. This episode is truly exciting for me, as Rachel and I discuss topics that resonate deeply with both of us, particularly the enduring challenges that Maria confronted a century ago, which continue to persist today. For instance, we ponder on how we can diminish the Philippines' reliance on imported food and speculate on the timeline required to achieve complete self-sufficiency for the Philippines. If you happen to have the answers to either of these questions, I am all ears! 👂 In the meantime, listen to the entire episode and engage in fruitful conversations with your family, friends, and loved ones. Let's savor this experience together!  #StayHungry ___  Follow Rachel on Instagram, Tiktok, and Youtube: @sagoshow and support her Patreon!

Maria Orosa, Banana Ketchup, and The Sago Show with Rachel Lucero | EP 03 

“I do think like it's so important for us to do this identity work because we have to move to the next phase, which is how do we make things better for our own communities? And how do we make things better for our homelands as well? So in my videos, I try to push the viewer on that. And to, you know, be keeping current with a situation in the Philippines and to not just think about the identity journey ending with our self, but making a better a better place for our future generations, for our country too.” - Rachel Lucero Welcome back to another episode of Discover More. This week, we continue our conversation with Rachel Lucero. She is the creator &amp; host of The Sago Show—a Filipino food show that explores history, culture, and identity through Filipino food recipes. Rachel is a Filipino-American and, as a former Teach For America corps member, she shares a strong passion for education and social justice, especially for those who are marginalized and underserved. Last week, we dropped episode #92, part 1 of the interview, where Rachel shared about her personal upbringing and the genesis of the Sago Show. This week, we dive into some of the specifics of Filipino cuisine and some of Rachel’s lessons learned from her food journey. She shares the concept of indigenization, a beautiful framework to understand the evolution of cultural cuisine and adoption. We also discuss the complexities of fusion cuisine, the importance of taking action, and the process of overcoming perfectionist tendencies. We learned so much in this episode and hope you enjoy this conversation with Rachel Lucero.

#93. Thinking Big About Culinary Indigenization, Identity Work, and Embracing Our Roots — Rachel Lucero 

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More. This week’s guest is Rachel Lucero. She is the host and creator of The Sago Show—a Filipino food show that seeks to examine the intricate intersectionality of culture, history, and education through creative &amp; authentic Filipino food recipes. Rachel is a Filipino-American and, as a former Teach For America corps member, she shares a strong passion and commitment for education and social justice, especially for those who are marginalized and underserved. She currently works full-time as a business analyst and she continues to find ways to create more expansive and insightful content on her Youtube Channel—The Sago Show—by studying different slices of Filipino history and food culture. With her bachelor's in bioengineering and M.S. in education from John Hopkins University, Rachel found her unique calling on Youtube by combining her interest in cultural competency, technology, and pop culture—all through creating snack-size videos and reels on Instagram. The perfect cross-section between entertainment and education. In only a year, The Sago Show has grown to nearly 1,100 subscribers on Youtube and more than 70,000 views on social media, while maintaining strong &amp; ongoing content engagement. You can find her latest featured interview article: “Filipino Food Has a New Spokesperson” in Eater Magazine. Rachel’s increased exposure through her brand also allowed her to give numerous public speeches this past year at USC and to the Association of Filipino Scientists in America, which helped her realize the power of her voice. Through this realization, Rachel became more mindful and intentional with her brand and the ways she could also help elevate the voices of those who need elevated. We believe Rachel beautifully embodies the Discover More ethos of the curious mindset, and we are beyond excited to have this conversation with her.
