A School Poster Assignment In Which I Chose To Focus On Canada’s Epidemic Levels Of Violence Towards

A school poster assignment in which I chose to focus on Canada’s epidemic levels of violence towards Aboriginal women. If you’re interested in learning more, the page for Amnesty Canada’s No More Stolen Sisters provides some basic information. The #MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) tag on Twitter will give you more of a personal idea of how this effects Aboriginal communities across the country.

Our government refuses to even acknowledge that this is a legitimate societal issue, and I think it’s something that deserves a lot more international attention than it has received.

"Decía La Abuela Que Cuando Una Mujer Se Sintiera Triste Lo Mejor Que Podía Hacer Era Trenzarse El

"Decía la abuela que cuando una mujer se sintiera triste lo mejor que podía hacer era trenzarse el cabello; de esta manera el dolor quedaría atrapado entre los cabellos y no podría llegar hasta el resto del cuerpo; había que tener cuidado de que la tristeza no se metiera en los ojos pues los haría llover, tampoco era bueno dejarla entrar en nuestros labios pues los obligaría a decir cosas que no eran ciertas, que no se meta entre tus manos- me decía- porque puedes tostar de más el café o dejar cruda la masa; y es que a la tristeza le gusta el sabor amargo.

Cuando te sientas triste niña, trénzate el cabello; atrapa el dolor en la madeja y déjalo escapar cuando el viento del norte pegue con fuerza. Nuestro cabello es una red capaz de atraparlo todo, es fuerte como las raíces del ahuehuete y suave como la espuma del atole.”

“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.”

— Audre Lorde, “Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference” (via commiekinkshamer)

When People Ask Me Where I Am From I Am Puzzled Because I Am Many People And Many Places. I Am More Than

When people ask me where I am from I am puzzled because I am many people and many places. I am more than two cultures blended and reconciled. But don't you be fooled, I say because wherever I go I carry the bright colors of the beautiful city that sheltered my childhood, my native Guayaquil #PerlaDelPacifico. Here at el #Malecon2000 a few years ago. #Ecuayorker #TransnationalChild

DiA

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.
