On 2/15, I was part of a Love Latine poetry reading at @bluecactuspress
and with @claudiacastroluna @sachavez81 @pigeongirl @warshingtonian @poetruiz
It was so special to hold space for pain & to promote safety/love in these bleak times. Community is the light that cuts through the dark
Another great day to:
Buy books
Call your reps
Support small businesses
And fight the patriarchy!
Even small acts of resistance are resistance! ❤️
