I've read an heard news from several sources about the DREAM act & AZ law. It firghtens me para mis amigos/as, who aren't documented. Even more so for the undocumented youth..who are only trying to achieve a dream.
I always read stuff on-line or in the newspaper, watch youtube vids. i receive emails from friends and family about the activism that is taking place in their city, school, etc.
Sometimes i feel I could do more where I am but i don't know anyone. My neighbor, Leantra, call her LeeLee, took me to this place Teatro Luna. from behind the scenes to writing to acting, all latinas...but attempting to make it all a mix of both brown ad black theatre.
My Regionite mami, Rosi, told me about this place...that is probably next person i know out here. Charlin is always busy with work or graduate school, I never talk to her anymore.
oh, I'm missing my point. In these hard times for the People of the Sun, i wish I had my friends closer to me than I had before.
On another note, working at the Hilton is truly a blessing. My co-workers are fun, energetic..bi/multilingual, coming from money.
but since all this stuff began happening in AZ and with the DREAM-ers.....
~~The only downside to the job is people assume you are white....and they say hurtful things, thinking what theyre saying is ok or just. I keep my mouth shut because it's pointless to object.
People who are non-white deal with so much, whether there are around bigotry or not.
I consider myself Latina....but even then I dislike labels, especially the stereotypes that come with them.
All i know. My people, from Espana to central and south america...and those who've immigrated elsewhere.....we are a vibrant, hard-working, patient people.
