New podcast and video with @mestizamovement in my bio. _ Isis Avalos who is an amazing dancer, performer and teacher. We talked about her start in dance, growing up undocumented, colorism in the Mexican community and how she embraced being a “morena" through her indigenous lineage; which also influences the way she moves. _ She takes it upon herself to spread her knowledge of history and culture as a performer and teacher of dance - so that her ancestor's contributions (to dance and the world in general) may be acknowledged and never forgotten as they most commonly are.

Not every child has the privilege to know and grow with their biological family. Many of us have layers of a support system (wether we realize it or not). My Mom lost her parents before she could even recall what they were like. On the fortunate side (because there is always a fortunate side if you look hard enough) she had the support of her older siblings that hustled to take care of her; despite the lack of money, food and available shelter. But not everyone has that support system. Thus, homeless people on our streets and foster children like Samuel. So this fostering and adoption thing is kinda really important. Everyone deserves the opportunity to a loving support system, especially children without any agency over their circumstances. Think about how many layers you have in your support system. Really tho, if you're reading this you're probably privileged as fuck and I hope you can realize it. If I lost everything I had going from me, my parents got me, my homies got me and that's saying a lot. Understand your privileges. Leverage them as a means to give back and change a life or two.

Just an Icon livin 🌹 _ I met the wonderful @doloreshuerta yesterday after viewing her film. Imagine meeting, speaking and shaking hands with a superhero (Or badass Xicana activist but same thing). _ She's just as important to our history as a Cesar Chavez or MLK, Jr. But it's terrible how often we write off Women's participation, contribution and leadership from our history. _ Thankfully, we get to celebrate and recognize Dolores Huerta in @doloresthemovie and maybe one day school textbooks will do the same. 📸@soffpretzy
