I've decided to take a voluntary buyout from KQED b/c I can no longer in good moral conscious continue to work for any media organization that doesn't call a genocide a genocide. This was not an easy decision. But I'm following my gut and my gut never fails me.

I just got a poem accepted into a lit mag. A poem I thought would never get accepted (and frankly I had given up on) and a lit mag I thought would never accept any of my poems. 10 months ago. Moral of the story: Don't give up on your poems. Don't belittle your work.

For the longest time I was ashamed of being a pocha. (For many reasons) But after weeks of interviewing Latinxs in Spanish, I'm realizing a lot of people talk like me. I'm not alone. Proud to be a pocha because it's a reflection of my immigrant experience. STOP POCH@ SHAMING.

White writers, editors, professors will always look at our work through the lens of “other.” Even the most well meaning white folks can’t escape their white gaze. That’s why it’s so important for us to have our work critiqued by our communities! A lesson I learned painfully.
he also pushed for me to include more chinese language in my work. i had one poem in a packet that used chinese and that was his feedback to my aesthetic in general: “more chinese!”

As a fronteriza, as someone born in Ciudad Juárez and who grew up in El Paso, this day weights a lot on my heart. I've thought about what to say, if anything, but words can't really describe the weight of the El Paso massacre. I can only think of Gloria Anzaldua's words

Not this ten minute recipe for mango and tajin. A white hispter somewhere discovered tajin and the NYT thinks this is revelatory.... please hire more Latinxs. Y'all need us.
This classic street food, served throughout Mexico, is encountered often in open air markets, beaches and parks. The original is often made with tajín; this take uses a homemade chile-lime salt.
