Welcome

Thoughts. Experiences. Inspiration.

Hi, I’m Rowena ('Ro')  I’m of Filipino heritage, born in London and now based in the U.S. I'm the youngest of three sisters on my mother’s side. On my father’s side, I’m also lucky to have three half-brothers and a half-sister.

​

If you’ve landed here, welcome. This space was first created with the younger generation in my family in mind, a way to pass along incredible family stories and the life lessons I’ve gathered along the way. Grow-Up Ro is where stories of resilience, unsung heroes, and the search for balance take center stage.

​

You’re invited to join me on this journey as I sit down with inspiring people, share real conversations, and reflect on the ups and downs of this wild ride we call life — all with the hope of sparking honesty, connection, and inspiration.
