An original chingona.
Latinas/Mujeres
The Mecha/UFW eagle never looked so good.
Latinas in community with each other are a force to be reckoned with.
May day 2009.
Latinas do things.
We are not objects, fetishes, or exotic play things.
We are dangerous.
OH HELL NO!!!
I like you ASOS but this is not okay.
Let’s email these motherfuckers and let them know this is not okay.
Fucking commodifying, appropriating asses. White folks do not get to parade around in the symbolism and cultural markers of my heritage.

jajajaja… my mom does this all the time!
Better yet, comes into the bathroom while you are in the shower to talk about groceries or what your cousin did according to your tia. And when you yell at her to leave she says, mija I have the same nalgas ok? and walks out.
Califas sueños
California sueños
Brown bruised knees
Paleta stained chins and shirt collars
Jelly sandals with sandy grit in the toes
Tias and tios whispering chisme around the formica table
The fans spinning in the window
hot comal
spicy chile on mangos, mangos with the reverent “aaa”
One bed with four cousins—waking up with elbows and knees everywhere

Sólo soy tan hermosa como mi resistencia es fuerte.
