The men writing opinion columns on The NY Times about Jane Doe, including detailed descriptions of the sexual violence, are re-traumatizing us. Like, I appreciate that’s not the intention but can we be mindful? I literally puked after reading the description and didn’t read more

Today is the 9th anniversary of the tragic death of #joaneflorvil who died in police custody in Santiago, Chile after being falsely accused of abandoning her child. I wrote about her years ago for NACLA nacla.org/joane-florvi... #endglobalantiblackness

Last Saturday we inaugurated a mural painting by our students, families at community outside of Casa Cultura in Trenton. We had a matching guava cake to celebrate. If you’re in #trenton, do go see it. And remember that the sun melts ice. Keep on shining. #chingalamigra

The Dominican ultra right asking once again for my books to be boycotted and my nationality revoked for writing about antiHaitian violence. Do they have nothing better to do? #endglobalantiblackness

And if we want to feel hope in these dark times, read Ada Limón’s “Against Breaking”. It’s devastating and beautiful.

I found this picture of my dad reading my first book, a few years before the stroke that has had him on a persistent comma state, here but not here, for two years now. I cried for an entire hour. Tears of joy, of grief, of longing. It’s a strange thing to be grieving a parent who is still here. 💔

I keep getting this add from Academia. Is this a thing? Do people keep track of their citations? Am I supposed to? Being first gen really keeps you guessing 😆🤷🏽‍♀️

I have a child with #pans an autoimmune neuro inflammation disorder that ruins lives, is poorly diagnosed and for which both schools and most doctors are completely unprepared. It caused my kid to become disabled. Folks should be aware and learn about this illness.

This is Dangeline, the 2 year old Chilean of Haitian descent, that died last week in her daycare. Parents and the community ask for answers and justice. Chile’s xenophobic antiblackness has been growing for the last two decades while we look away. #endglobalantiblackness
