I lost another flight... the one from Panama to Manaus, this time. And tis time, the airlines was to blame. They did not validate my rights as dual citizen and did not allow me to travel to Brazil due to fear I might have been sent back. Way too risky for them. After divulging for a long time trying to make my voice count, the airline realized they had made a BIG mistake! They realized they'd made an error. They hooked me up with one of the Mariott hotels in Panama city, which really saved myself a lot of wandering around on my own. There were two great things about this experience, making my statement being heard and surrendering to the experience which allowed me to explore el Vasco Viejo of Panamá City for a couple of hours. I have been SO excited for so long, but things did not go as planned...

“Some problems we share as women, some we do not. You [white women] fear your children will grow up to join the patriarchy and testify against you; we fear our children will be dragged from a car and shot down in the street, and you will turn your backs on the reasons they are dying.”

I am an indigenous-mestiza-afrodescendent trans-national Latina sister from the picturesque South American city of Guayaquil and brought up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. I love and respect my journey in exploring my browness and my womanhood.
