Journey 2 Zendipity

Hi all! It’s been a while – how are you???

Lief has been SO much, from every which way. The most important is the way our country currently is.

As you all know now, I am a woman of love. I love hard, I love all and I am usually mostly quiet about politics because I never felt I knew enough to come to the table. However, one thing I always understood was that the president being a representation of us to other countries. That always made it incredibly clear, since 2016 that Trump would be hands down about the worst person that I could vote for. OH so many moments that stood out but I will never forget the way he treated and spoke to disabled people. People who had nothing to offer him, people who were different from him – fuckkkkkk himmmm.

So why am I sharing this now? Well, let me tell you – because the silence and complacency of so many is too incredibly loud and I am too damn mad to be on the side of silence, complacency and “shut up, sit down, and do as I say!”

A few weeks ago I had the absolute honor of taking my kid out for a birthday celebration and we ended up protesting in the coldest weather I have ever been in. I mean, we couldnt feel our fingers, breathing felt a little different and it really was a no brainer that we were exactly where we needed to be. We did this protest for all of the latin community, all my black brothers and sisters, all of the lost lifes, the bs happening – I did it for so many reasons but because we were on vacation, it wasn’t under the next morning that we found out about Alex’s murder.

RAGE! Rage is all I could feel. The the MURDERS, the kidnapping, the torture, the fear that’s been infesting our streets. I mean just straight up rage reading people STILL finding a way to ignore what is happening. People STILL trying to defend the bullshit. Then you add the Epstein Files and all that awfull stuff and well – shit is just bad bad. RAGE, y’all. For a second love really had left the building because I was really struggling to find a moment of peace.

So many wonderful things have been happening in my life personally but they all just not hitting full level of fullfilment because of how horrible things have been, you know? How can I enjoy something so pure and personal when the world around me is on fire and I am a few shades darker than what someone considers “acceptatble” – FOH. I was feeling so helpless toward my community, my people, my values – just absolutely helpful.

Then yesterday was the Super Bowl, or should I say Benito Bowl, and for the first time in my life – I would buckle at the knees to shake a celebrity’s hand. Yes, he’s handsome and all that but it’s about the respect this man has EARNED. I want to personally tell him THANK YOU. For representing our community, for using the stage to spread love, for shining light in a dark time, for bringing the country together even if just for 15 minutes.

Last night, in a VERY long time, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea how things will turn out, I have no idea how we will get out of this horrific era we are in but I truly saw the light and beleive that we can stand together. I was reminded that LOVE is stronger than hate, (but that doesn’t mean self defense is out the window lol). I was reminded that I can feel rage for the attrocities that are occuring because I am human and this is NOT ACCEPTABLE but to not let it infect or consume me.

I am standing with my community strong, with conviction, with strength, with love, Together our voices are powerful and Bad Bunny, aka BENITO ANTONIO MARTINEZ OCASIO ( put some respect ont hat name), did a damn good job reminding us of this last night.

Benito – gracias, con todo mi corazón, gracias ❤ que orgullo!!!

I hope you all are feeling love and powerful today, I hope today you are believing in yourself a little more today because to quote Benito some more “you are worth more than you know.”

With all my COMPASSIONATE heart,
A PROUD CUBAN AMERICAN WOMAN

** before you come at me let me set it straight – this isnt’ about red and blue.
This is about right and wrong.
Compassion vs hate.
This is about some fucked up shit being ignored for the sake of money, power and unfortunately color of skin. This is about all of those fucking people who are against abortions yet have no problem with little kids being s**** ABUSED , traumatized, tortured for the entertainment and pleasure of disgusting men.
This is about the LAYERS of hate baked into someone that refuses to change their mind on their “leader” of choice because

So, in case I wasn’t clear:
Fuck TRUMP
Fuck MAGA
Fuck ICE
WAY TO GO BAD BUNNYYYYYY!

A little louder for the back?
NO TRUMP
NO KKK
NO FASCIST USA!
