"Winning Tony & Grammy Awards" - a Jhett Tolentino Story

October 24, 2021 • Your Filipina Friends (Sweeney, Kat, Meg, Joy, and Pauline) • Season 2 • Episode 3

Jhett Tolentino is a Grammy Award Winner and 3-time Tony Award Winner Producer who grew up in the slums of Iloilo City in the Philippines. Jhett's family was poor and if it weren't for a scholarship he received in high school, he wouldn't be where he is today - a successful Broadway Theater producer.

Tune in and get to know more about Jhett Tolentino and how his journey led him to the be the 2nd ever Filipino to win a Tony Award after 22 years when Leah Salongga won for Best Actress in a Musical in 1991.

Jhett's humble beginning is an inspirational story that we hope to share with so many dreamers, who are still looking for their calling.

We cannot help but feel proud and super grateful that Jhet spent an hour chatting with us about his life, aspirations, insights, and even skincare!
