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

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.
Love love love! Always Learning and growing alongside with the strong and caring sista Sonie. #sisterhood #partnersincrime (at Terraza 7)

Education NOT Deportation
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.
