What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? What I learned from my abuela was to garden. Unfortunately, she was hiding her heritage, so I had to learn odd things here and there. I had an idea she was Mexican (coffee ice cream, and banana popsicles gave her away)…

Truly, Ignoring
What could you do more of? One of the things I want to practice is ignoring someone when they’ve said something unnecessary. While I take steps to send their energy back, and ignore them afterwards, I’d like to not acknowledge it in the first place. This occurrence happened recently and I will admit I am…
Blood Doesn’t Matter
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? When I was in my younger twenties, I fell under a cloak of insanity and hatred from a family member. Not only was my own mother lashing out at me, she had failed to instruct me properly with care of my new born, and what my…
Innovations to Help the Planet
Which topics would you like to be more informed about? Recently, I came across a company who uses two boats and a large net to scoop trash out of areas of the ocean. They then insure the trash is recycled or incinerated properly. Check out @theoceancleanup on Instagram. It was an instant follow from me….
A Useful Vibration
What would your life be like without music? If my life were void of music, it would be void of creation. Painting and music are lovers. Writing and music are soulmates. Quiet contemplation and a song on repeat are twin flames. (I’m not sorry, the moon is in Pisces 🌙) It’s hard to imagine. I…

However, I refuse to celebrate Thanksgivings Day, and Independence Day for America. Instead, I choose to celebrate Mexican Independence Day because I am Afro Mexicana. I celebrate Halloween because it’s fun – but…
Individuality
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. To each their own. -Polonius, Macbeth While simplistic and even cryptic (unless you are aware of the context of the conversation) it is such a great way to let people know either it’s not for you, or them. Instead of insulting the entirety of…
Cuisine 😋
What are your favorite types of foods? If I get a choice, it would most certainly always be either Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or Thai. A lot of this has to do with my gastrointestinal disorder – I have a hiatal hernia. This means I have excess stomach acid, so I am susceptible to nausea, often….
Favorite Rhetoric
What’s your favorite word? In English, my favorite word is Unscrupulous. The reason behind this is due to the fact that I prefer to avoid using simple words to describe bad behavior and mannerisms. In Russian, my favorite words are глупый and собака. I live in a predominantly Russian neighborhood, so I went on my…
The Victim
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? Everyone has had their share of pain. Either we caused it or it has happened to us. Because of that type of duality, none of us are innocent. While we share stories of what others have done, I tend to walk away from people…
