Nothing much has changed much. We are still homesc

Nothing much has changed much. We are still homeschooling and working from home. It’s so tough sometimes but I’m enjoying my daughters and being a “stay at home” mom. I truly believe that things happen for a reason and the world is changing for the better. Let’s stay safe and positive through it all.

It’s been a year since my husband returned from deployment. As hard as it was, I’m glad this happened them and now. As crazy as the world is now. We are thankful and blessed to have him home.

Raise kind kids who will grow to be empathetic individuals. The world needs more of this.

I really don’t think we would have expected 2020

I really don’t think we would have expected 2020 to be this type of year, ever! More weirder, crazy, and scary stuff are coming to light. Definitely a year of judgement. The world is changing and we are all changing. Nothing stays the same.

Life is so surreal now! How can we be indifferent

Life is so surreal now! How can we be indifferent to everything that is going on? To the injustices? To the lack of humanity? So many things are coming to light that scares me.

I remember years ago reading an article of the years when we will truly see equality, when world hunger would be eradicated, when racism would not be present, etc. I hope to see the day when these things are true, not for me but for my daughters and the new generations to come 🙏🏼

Cake. Balloons. Pozole. Minnie Mouse and Disney movies. Happy Father’s Day! We just missed abuela and abuelo so much it hurt. We can’t wait to hang out with them and hug them. #quarantinefathersday2020

All the systemic racial and inequality has fueled

All the systemic racial and inequality has fueled my need to advocate even more for my daughters, for all people of color yo afford the same opportunities. I’m constantly seeking resources and opportunities so that they grow up healthy, they have the resources to learn, and have access to a quality education. I had dreams of going to any Ivy League school but financially it was not an option. I got accepted into great schools but my parents couldn’t afford it. I will be the biggest advocates for my daughters because they are also deserving of the same opportunities. #parentadvocate #latinafamilia #tuluchaesmilucha #equality

I remember that one of my first friends in first g

I remember that one of my first friends in first grade was a black girl. She had such a gentle spirit. I was just 6 years old and we had barely immigrated to the US. We were the only two colored girls in our classroom at that time. Somehow we just gravitated to each other. Somehow we understood each other and had each other when other kids wouldn't play with us. It was then when I started understanding color and differences. That's when I realized that certain kids wouldn't play with us and how others kids voices were heard and acknowledged louder than ours.
I feel like I can’t go back to normal, we have to use this platform to educate ourselves and our community. Let’s call our racism together. Let’s teach a new generation a different worldview where skin color is nothing more then that. Let’s create a world where it’s safe for our kids to never have to fear anything. Where diversity or people and language is accepted and a beautiful thing.
