Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This week we are welcoming a triple threat- powerhouse team, Sarap Shop restaurant owners: Kristen and James Brillantes and JP Reyes!

Join us as the trio share their journey from a celebrated Bay Area food truck to their brick and mortar grand opening this past March. They dive deep into what it takes to come together as a dream team, which for Sarap Shop, means trailblazing a more inclusive business culture by incorporating our shared humanity and identities rooted in family systems, community networks, and fun. 

From our titas’ family management roles to healing sibling relationships, tune in to their approach on how Filipino culture and family dynamics take shape in our everyday working environments. In Kristen’s words, discover how business can be a, “vehicle for the lifestyle you want.” 

The Sarap Shop team is also the leading force behind Kultivate Labs’ Business Accelerator program, Seed Network. Through the Anchor Creatives and Entrepreneurs Collective (ACE), their efforts to support small businesses continue to shape the commercial district in SOMA, Pilipinas.
