Community building requires community healing. And what does that look like?

"Staying ‘home’ and not venturing out from our own group comes from woundedness, and stagnates our growth. To bridge means loosening our borders, not closing off to others….To bridge is to attempt community, and for that we must risk being open to personal, political, and spiritual intimacy, to risk being wounded."- Gloria Anzaldua

"Quedarse en la casa'' y no aventurarse fuera de nuestro propio grupo viene donde estamos heridos y proviene nuestro crecimiento. Para hacer puentes signifa que abriemos mas de nuestras fronteras y que no cierremos a otros… Para hacer puentes es intentar comunidad, y para eso tenemos que corre el riesgo de ser abierto a personal, político y espiritual intimidad, a correr el riesgo de ser heridos. "
-Gloria Anzaldua


Everybody is waiting for the movement to happen ! And we dont realize we are the movement. Its me and you coming together and having some honest and maybe painful truthtelling between us. But there is probably some beautiful thing we will create together as a result. I want to speak to each person in my community.Let's get the party going.

Todo el mundo está esperando a que el movimiento a ocurrir! Y nosotros no darse cuenta de que somos el movimiento. Comienza la communidad cuando usted y yo tienemos algunos conversaciones doloroso pero verdarosos . Pero es probable que algunos bellos cosas que es probablemente vamos a crear juntos . Quiero hablar con cada person en mi communidad.Vamos a comienzar esta fiesta !

NEPANTLA ESA BY ARI CHAGOYA

 It’s funny 
But I’ve thought about this a thousand times 
When I found out she died I lost my breath 
And what the fuck 

Who will take care of me now? 

I’m not the type that needs taken care of 
My mamá will tell you that I wanted to tie my own shoes! 
Desde chiquita 

But in that moment I never realized how she took care of me
 It was kinda like that quiet 
Unspoken unashamed sisterhood Solidarity 
Muthafucker don’t fuck with her
Humilde 
Love yes 
Don’t have to say nothing 

More than feed my mind 
She fed my soul 
Made my loneliness die with our depth 
We was Daring 
We was Fuck you 
A cabroncita sentiment 
The more the merrier 
Wicked

 Oh what I would like to tell you now 
Vieja 
Timeless 
Nepantla esa.
