What the F

Right now, my mind cannot grasp all that is happening. I feel frozen. I want to write out, flush out things in my mind and heart, but I need some time to read more and understand more.

For now, I just know that my I mourn, I hurt, I anger with my brother and sisters. And I want to be active. I'm tired of just liking things on facebook, or even writing. I want to literally walk alongside my brother and sisters in the movement towards justice. I want to go on my knees and plead to God for justice and freedom. I want to no longer be frozen. I don't want to be indifferent.

Pray for me, that I can find words and muscles to move. Pray for all those hurting, that they would find Peace. Pray for all those that are doing harm, that Justice would find them.

I'll try to write more soon.

Mimi.

Yo Soy Mimi. My face is brown, and my eyes are dark. My hair is black, with some rays of light. My height is short, and my feet are small. My language is Spanish. My heart is colored. My family united. My blood is mixed. My identity, also. My strength in the divide. In the divide. Spanish or English? American or Ecuadorian? Here or there? Why not everywhere? In the divide. In the divide, I consider myself blessed. Blessed to stand with people like Esther, Paul, and Jesus. Blessed to look up to those that have stood in the divide. Oh, am I blessed. Blessed to have an education. Blessed to have a job. Blessed to have a chance to vote. Blessed to have my faith on God. Blessed to know one day, equality will be restored. Blessed to know in Christ, there is hope. Hope. Hope for days when my brothers and sisters stop dying on the streets. Hope for days when my mothers and fathers stop being seen as "less than"

Blogeando

I have two blogs. This one here on Blogger and one on Wordpress . This one is meant more for me to share about my experiences as a 1.75-generation Ecuadorian-American. The WP one is for me to share anything that's on my heart, mind, etc...tough thing is being able to distinguish between what I do, think, or feel that's divorced from my identity as a Latina-Americana. Honestly, I don't think anything can be. So, maybe I think about this blog site as more of a platform where I can process things directly related to my cultural identity walk. I realize this post is a little useless, but this journey isn't, so whatever. (:

Excuses

...so it's been over 7 days since I've written anything... I am excusing myself due to the fact that I cut off a small piece of my finger off last Saturday night [9/24]. Nothing major, mostly just the fat and skin, but I completely cut it off! Of course I still went to work 2 hours later. Being the new girl who just got off orientation means you should probably be a team player and suck up the fact that your finger is bandaged and bloody and just go help them babies! Of course, I later realized it wasn't the best to be working under those conditions, but I made do. I'm writing this without my left pointer finger, and let me tell you -- it's so hard not to push the keys with my injured finger.  -- I'm currently reading two books: How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents  and The Line of the Sun .  I'm not the best at finishing books, so telling you all that I'm reading these two books will hopefully motivate me to get reading! --...
