Lil Letter to Wayne
Girls rapping always inspires me. But these girls aren’t just rapping, they are teaching.

Georgia
Georgia is taking lead from Arizona. This makes me sad, but it also makes me wonder about how much realer does anti-immigrant sentiment have to get before we call it racism–and well, just wrong.

Epifanio De Los Santos
Context: I just got back from the Philippines. Like. Yesterday. All of us climbed into a van headed to Quezon City, all 12 of us. As we passed by “Our Lady of Peace” and made a right onto Edsa, my sister, Alexie, asked our aunt, MamaNes, “What is that?” She began to tell us the…

I know my last post is about the study of culture in sociology, the dangers of its circulation and, its internalization. And voila. Here it is, operationalized to talk about me, my fam, my community, my people.…
