I joined @aliciamenendez.bsky.social on On the Line to talk about Connected Americans and why this moment calls for us to build a broader movement for change.

When the world feels overwhelming, how do we keep doing the work to create change? Over the years, organizing has taught me that creating change isn’t only about resisting what we don’t want. It’s also about practicing the world we do want, one rooted in community, joy, connection, and care.

For 25 years, Salvadoran TPS holders have built lives, raised families, and made home in this country. Their lives are not temporary. Their families are not temporary. Their home is not temporary.

Labor Day is a reminder that the rights workers have today and continue to expand, didn’t simply happen. Workers organized and fought for every single one of them.

Joy is a practice. This summer I found joy in the ocean, in long days outside, in animals and nature, in laughter and adventure, and especially in seeing the world through Itzae’s eyes.

Last night was such a beautiful reminder of what happens when Latinas tell our stories, claim our voices, and remind each other that we already belong.

As a new school year begins, I hope Dreaming of Home finds its way into classrooms, book clubs, and conversations. The questions so many students are asking right now about immigration, belonging, democracy, courage, & community don't have easy answers. But I hope this book offers a place to begin.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

There are moments in history that ask something of each of us.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

In a recent conversation, I shared something I continue to believe: Silence doesn't protect us. Community does. That idea lives at the heart of Dreaming of Home. It's the story of moving from fear and shame to belonging, purpose, and collective action.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Honored to be part of this conversation with All-American Story. We talked about the journey from fear and shame to community and belonging, why courage is something we practice together, and how ordinary people build the power to create extraordinary change. 💛

I’m still on a high from the Ecuadorian Parade in Jackson Heights, Queens. Being back in the barrio where I grew up home to the largest Ecuadorian community in New York City, filled me with so much pride.

Growing up, I watched the women around me abandon themselves time and time again. Eight-year-old Cristina made herself a promise: I will never do that. This past year, I realized I hadn't always kept that promise.

We have a black belt in the family! Seeing my brother, earn his black belt reminds me, the biggest achievements are built through quiet discipline, perseverance, & showing up even on the hardest days. This didn't happen overnight. It came from years of commitment, sacrifice, & believing in himself.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Renee Good. Silverio Villegas Gonzàlez. Rubén Ray Martinez. Alex Pretti. These are just a few of the people who have been killed by ICE. They were fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, workers, neighbors, and members of our communities.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I am heartbroken and outraged. Another family is mourning the loss of a loved one after an encounter with ICE. Every death demands transparency, accountability, and an independent investigation, not silence.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Some of the most important conversations happen where our stories, identities, and communities meet.

Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed a basic truth that generations of Americans have understood: if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen of the United States. PERIOD.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Another heartbreaking reminder that for far too many immigrants, safety is treated as temporary.

Grateful to have joined Hispanics in Philanthropy at their 2026 conference, Rooted in Purpose, Rising with Poder, for a conversation about Dreaming of Home and the power of storytelling.

I’m so excited to go live TODAY with Deya from @unitedwedream.org to talk about Dreaming of Home in paperback, the moment we’re living through, and how we can use this book as a guide for organizing, building community, and turning hope into action. 💛

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Today is the day 💛 Dreaming of Home is officially out in paperback. Thank you to everyone who has carried this story with me. Here’s to choosing courage, community, and hope and to this next chapter together.

The paperback edition of my national bestselling memoir, Dreaming of Home, comes out next Tuesday on June 9th, and to celebrate this new chapter, I’m honored to be joined by the one and only adrienne maree brown.

📚 ONE WEEK 📚 In one week, the Dreaming of Home paperback officially arrives. 💛 This book was written as a story of home, courage, belonging, healing, and organizing, a reminder that even in difficult moments, hope and collective action matter.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

I can’t stop thinking about what is happening inside Delaney Hall detention center, Torrance County Detention Facility and all other centers across the country.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

So excited to be going LIVE with José Antonio Vargas (@joseiswriting.bsky.social ) 💛 We’ll be talking about Dreaming of Home, storytelling, belonging, immigration, courage, and why our stories matter, especially right now.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Watching Greisa from United We Dream testify before the Senate reminded me of something we too often forget: undocumented people have always led with courage, clarity, and love for our communities, even when this country refuses to fully recognize our humanity.

Dreaming of Home is coming to paperback very soon! 💛 This story carries so much of my heart, family, migration, organizing, belonging, and the reminder that home is something we continue building together. I can’t wait for this version to make its way into even more hands.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

In honor of Latino Book Month, I’m sharing some of my favorite books by Latina authors. Their work explores migration, memory, family, identity, love, grief, and the many ways we search for home.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Thank you to everyone who came together in community, to listen, reflect, and share space around Dreaming of Home. We shared our stories and dreams for how to build stronger communities and a country where we all belong.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

A gentle reminder to take care of you. As women in my life turn 40 I’ve been having more conversations about mammograms. The anxiety about having your first one and the anxiety there after every year.

I carry my family’s labor story with me every day. This May Day, I’m honoring the workers whose hands, hearts, and sacrifice keep our communities moving.

Over 100 U.S. citizens impacted by detention and deportation came together in Philly to talk about citizenship, community, and belonging. Now, we’re organizing and bringing our loved ones, neighbors, and friends into the work to change the future of this country.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

There’s something grounding about being in spaces like Bioneers surrounded by people who have been doing the work, building, dreaming, and showing up for our communities and for Mother Earth in so many ways.

Day 1 at the @latimes.com Festival of Books. The largest book festival in the country! ✨ So much of today was about connection! Spending time with @glonation.bsky.social and Reyna , being in conversation, and sharing space with a community that continues to show up for one another.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Dreaming of Home isn’t just a holiday gift. It’s a guide for stepping into a new year rooted in resilience and collective power. Written for those seeking grounding, understanding, and a reminder that our voices matter. Give it as an invitation to learn, reflect, and build what comes next—together.

A few weeks ago I spent the day with over 300 brilliant middle schoolers in Brooklyn. Students were children of immigrants, non-immigrants, Latine, and more — all carrying dreams that deserve to be seen.

iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social @iamcristinajimenez.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Traveling across the country sharing Dreaming of Home has brought me home to the people, the organizers and courageous leaders, who have been part of building this movement.
