About The Shared Self LLC
The Shared Self LLC is based of the Filipino value of kapwa (kuh-puh-wah). Kapwa is the value of interconnectedness; that we all have a shared identity.
As quoted by Professor Virgilio Enriquez, "This Filipino linguistic unity of the self and the other is unique and unlike in most modern languages. Why? Because implied in such inclusiveness is the moral obligation to treat one another as equal fellow human beings. If we can do this- even start in our own family or our circle of friends- we are on the way to practice peace. We are Kapwa People."
