In a span of ten years, Bacani has been featured in the New York Times and CNN had gone from a domestic helper to achieving her Masters in Arts and Politics degree at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, a prestigious program that has seen the likes of Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, and Lady Gaga. At 19, Xyza had to quit nursing school to provide for her family abroad. While working in Hong Kong, Xyza started taking black and white photos of her surroundings before her work was discovered online.PhilSTAR L!fe"In an ideal world, a 19-year-old should still be in school, dreaming and hanging out with friends, making mistakes, and preparing for the real world, but then my reality is far from the ideal," Xyza wrote.
"My mother, a domestic worker, needed to leave us to give us a better life, but then I became one myself. Migration has shaped our lives, and up to this day, it is our reality."
