Unlearning isn’t just about putting down the old narrative—it’s about remembering who we were before we were told to forget. It’s easy to post the quotes and buy the books, but real liberation starts when we reclaim the truth of our roots: our master navigators who owned the Pacific, our spiritual matriarchs who held the highest authority, and the undeniable truth behind the history we were handed. Decolonization is an active practice, so take a deep breath and tell me honestly—did this quiz affirm what you already knew, or did it spark a whole new phase of unlearning for you?
If you’re ready to move beyond the surface and truly ground yourself in decolonial Filipino psychology, we’d love to walk this journey with you inside Unlearning the Colonized Mind.
