Different Platforms Have Been Offered, And Thanks To The People In Those Settings And Self-confidence,
Different platforms have been offered, and thanks to the people in those settings and self-confidence, I’ve been able to grow. This is personal. But believing in the self is the most important tool one has to create change: in society, in your community -your beautiful and fierce community- in your mind, body and soul.
Black Moon is in Libra and is the best moment to set intentions to start new life projects, explore deep love and self-love.
This picture of Mother Water captured in Portland, Maine frames this transition so beautifully.

The creations of Guayasamín always move something deep in my existence -- always taking me back hundreds of years back. Above all, his images remind me how much there is still to be done for our pueblos.

What we find is that if you have a goal that is very, very far out, and you approach it in little steps, you start to get there faster. Your mind opens up to the possibilities.

“Some problems we share as women, some we do not. You [white women] fear your children will grow up to join the patriarchy and testify against you; we fear our children will be dragged from a car and shot down in the street, and you will turn your backs on the reasons they are dying.”

Stay positive and embrace the journey! A mal tiempo buena cara :) 1day in Panama. #CascoViejo #BrasilBound (at Casco Viejo) Sometimes it is best to surrender an embrace the moment for what it is. After missing my original flight to Panama, which would take me to Manaus to make a connection Porto Velho -- my final destination where I'd be doing some dope youth work with 15-18 year old girls and boys for one month! I lost another flight... the one from Panama to Manaus, this time. And tis time, the airlines was to blame. They did not validate my rights as dual citizen and did not allow me to travel to Brazil due to fear I might have been sent back. Way too risky for them. After divulging for a long time trying to make my voice count, the airline realized they had made a BIG mistake! They realized they'd made an error. They hooked me up with one of the Mariott hotels in Panama city, which really saved myself a lot of wandering around on my own. There were two great things about this experience, making my statement being heard and surrendering to the experience which allowed me to explore el Vasco Viejo of Panamá City for a couple of hours. I have been SO excited for so long, but things did not go as planned...
That simple. An instinctive act of kindness has led to the creation of Las Patronas, a charitable organisation helping tens of thousands of Central American migrants…awarded Mexico’s most prestigious human rights prize.
I am an indigenous-mestiza-afrodescendent trans-national Latina sister from the picturesque South American city of Guayaquil and brought up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. I love and respect my journey in exploring my browness and my womanhood.
