Internally screaming at just how perfect you capture my feelings in writing! The in betweenness of being Mexican is so complicated and I can’t explain the joy I feel being validated in this experience!
Ahh thank you so much for sharing that with me. That's so validating to me (as a person) and my work. To be able to share this deeply felt and abstract experience, and that may resonate with someone else, is beyond. Being Mexican IS so complicated! But it's such gift to walk this path together with like-minded individuals. Your joy has definitely translated, thank you so much. <3
This resonated so much. (Also, the meme about the family tree made me laugh because it was so familiar and real. I hated family tree assignments at school!) We have a similar name-change in our family, which has made researching really difficult. Sending solidarity as you navigate this stuff — you are not alone. ❤️
Thank you Lesley! I'm glad you liked the meme, I like having those little humorous breaks between the heaviness of the topic. It's definitely a difficult path to walk down! Glad I'm not alone in it. Un abrazo!! <3
This is a very powerful essay, thank you for sharing! There were so many parts that had strong cultural resonance for me. And welcome back to writing your newsletter!
