BLACK LIVES, decisions, leadership, posts, work, strategy, guidance and actions y mas - THEY MATTER HERE! Take their lead, Stay Vocal! No black squares only— or at all. That black black square thing lost its hashtag and the full message and purpose got lost. It is not amplifying black voices as it was intended. Please pivot and post.. . . Ps: I’m super for people not posting their own personal or business content - and only BLM stuff. But this whole just black Square thing — got lost. A pivot is needed. Recalibrate and continue....
BLACK LIVES THEY MATTER HERE! . The first public gathering for me & getting up close and personal had to be marching for justice - Side by side in solidarity with the comrades of Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles. . We went to 2 March and rallies yesterday armed with our drums, hierbas, ceremonial clothing, sacred water, sonajas and energía to make change. . I also took my last week’s ProFe now @botanicadelbarrio backpack full of herbs, remedies, sprays and ancestral knowledge because i/we care and we know how this is effecting not only black bodies but also POC heart, mind, spirits and also bodies are literally on the line —- and we are in solidarity today and always. . We were at the main BLMLA gathering and then headed to East Los making sure to represent and support where we could —including in our own backyard. . We accepted the hug of the mother of Cesar Rodriguez who’s son was killed by police in Long Beach. We heard the cries of over 5 families giving testimony to the murder or their children at the hands of police violence. . We sang spirit songs, we played our drums, used our voice to say ya basta. We saw longtime friends out and many new faces. We ask you to do what you can from home or the streets to do the same. It is time! . Oh and if you think I’m silent on this page - it’s cuz I’m posting and keeping up the @mujeresdemaiz page— about these issues and more. It is not complacency— I’m doing it where there’s 69k and counting... . Also make sure to Follow @blmlosangeles for info, updates and guidance and also educate yourself and do your part. Solidarity p/v! . #indigenouspeoplesforblacklives #community #corazon #spirit #blacklivesmatter #solidarity #blackandbrownsolidarity
Today was the first day in a long time that I have taken a drive, gone to get food, purchased some non essential items and visited some friends... from my car. I am done with the semester, done with grading, done with all nighters, done with various Zooms a day. . . I was elated to be in fresh air, bump some corridos, see la gente - from my car of course, and listen to the compas playing musica en la esquina de Chavez. I even got to stop by the @latinxwithplants pop up and adopt some plantitas. . . I ordered food- my fave mole veggie enchiladas from a BH spot and then papas from Jim’s and of course my luck the mole had chicken (I ordered veggie ones and I’ve been a vegetarian for 30 years) and the fries seemed cruda. All that to say... I made the most of my 2 hours en la Calle and realized I guess i’m not supposed to be eating take out cuz both I couldn’t really eat! lol 🤦🏽‍♀️. . . Oh and I chilled in the backyard for a bit and had the shortest self portrait photo shoot ever cuz well I’ve been eating well and I’m dropping pounds here and there.... and really cuz I’m wearing UrbanXic.com from head to toe (these tennis are coming Fall 2020). . . We gotta document these trippy times — so here’s one for my quarantine book. Take care mi gente!
