Nobody ever said life was going to be easy, but I'm Mexican. Claro que si se puede!

No spoilers, just talking highly of a great horror/action film. Hands down one of the best Predator movies I've seen in a long time! First of all, the native representation was great to see in this movie. No brown facing or using some celebrities to play an Indian and it was great to see. Second of all, the way that Predator looked and the high tech at the time but primitive looking weaponry it used was amazing. And let's not forget that because of the historical time frame it's set in we see the colonizers come in and sh*t gets crazy real quick! I highly recommend watching this movie if you're a fan of the franchise. ✊🏽 #Prey #PreyMovie #Predator #PredatorFranchise #AlienVsPredator #AvP #Alien #ComancheNation #Naru #Warrior #BrownAndProud #BrownSkin https://www.instagram.com/p/ChBIRDMveVj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Why is being Mexican special on her, but bad on me?"- Yule

I have never related to a 60-second video as much as I did when I first watched Yule's Tiktok. Growing up as a Mexican American, I always felt that I could never fulfill the expectations placed on me by my family, friends, and greater society. I was a gordita, brown, with big lips, a big nose, and a bigger pansa. My family shamed me for my appearance disguised as advice or encouragement. My hairy arms and legs were a spectacle to all the other boys and girls in my gym class. On television, I was shown images of sexy, voluptuous (in all the right places), skinny, light-skinned Latinas. Everything that I wasn't and probably would never achieve. Not only are we fighting the unrealistic depictions of us in mainstream media, but we are battling cultural expectations placed upon us.

We’re not Bad, You’re just Rich

We’re not bad, you’re just rich

Growing up I went to a school with kids who looked like me

Brown hair, Brown skin, Brown eyes

We all had a mutual understanding

We considered each other family

We’re not bad, you’re just ignorant

Our school was a walking distance from where most of us lived

We had many schools in our district, but ours was seen as “the worst” 

My friends from other schools would tell me, “You go to a bad school” “That’s where bad kids go” 

I didn’t think much of it, I was only 7 when I first heard those words

As I grew older and wiser I became the President of my beloved school

I would still here those ignorant words come out of  kids’ mouths, wondering why they saw us as bad

We’re not bad you’re just privileged

Those who I looked up to, attempted their best to conceal racism behind a wall

They didn’t want to expose me to the evil of this world

Nevertheless, I kept hearing those simple, yet hurtful words, “You go to a ghetto school” 

Soon I got enough courage to ask, “Why do you say such hurtful things?” 

Finally my friend told me, “My mom said, you go to a bad school with bad teachers and bad kids.”

My heart fell out of my chest

Why did they assume such mindless things? 

White ladies from the Suburbs don’t know what it’s like to have to learn a second language in order to survive in this cruel country

They don’t know the pain and the struggle most immigrant parents go through to give their children a better life than they had.

They never stopped to ask, what it must have been like to leave everything and anything you know, behind

We’re not bad you’re just narrow-minded

I finally concluded why they said such things about my dear school

The majority of kids that attended there were latinos, hispanics, and children of immigrants

That is why they saw us as “bad” as an “abomination” 

Little did they know how hard our parents worked for us, to give us a “normal American childhood” 

Yet all the funds went to those who didn’t need them, those who had enough, those who had plenty to share

I always admired their two fancy fields, they were always mowed and well taken care of. 

I looked back at mine, we had no designated “field” it was a sad excuse of what they called the “soccer field”

Rarely taken care of, and all patchy. 

The walls we once had, were beginning to shed their layer of paint, exposing just the raw brick

Yet you didn’t care, as long as those “rich” schools looked pleasant. 

I thought we were in this as one district, then why are things still unjust?

We’re not bad, you're just racist.

During a time where Latinx people are gaining traction in television and politics, it is refreshing to see an openly queer teenage girl in a daytime television show. Coming out as a queer person in Latinx families with oftentimes deep religious times can be do or die for some, and to see a family rally behind and in support of Elena is a beautiful and important thing to watch unfold!

Ashanti thank you for walking on the front lines with us Queen! #Repost @ashanti The energy is just different. I’ve never protested before nor did I think I would ever have to.... we’ve seen the movies we’ve read the books. I come from a family devoted to making change. My grandfather James Davis walked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in Montgomery Alabama in 1965, and here we are in 2020 fighting the same fight all over the world. The energy is shifting tho. It feels different this time. Enough is Enough. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #Repost #Ashanti ##BlackLivesMatter #BLM #BlackMen #BlackMan #BlackIsBeautiful #Love #LoveYourself #BrownAndProud #Black #LuckyChurch #ImBlackAndImProud #BlackPride #BuyBlack #SelfLove #ILoveYou #SupportBlackBusiness #Brothers #Family #MyBrothersKeeper @blmgreaterny @hawk.newsome (at Black Lives Matters) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMDjVtgg1O/?igshid=3v99652uwg8l
