It's women's history month and I was inspired to compose a short and sweet something for my XX chromosomes. It's dedicated to women everywhere. Specifically to the women who are my foundation: mami Rosa Robles Rodriguez, abuelas Camilla Santiago, Aliz Victoria Galarza Rodriguez.
We break backs and bruise hearts to raise generations; toil at day jobs to connect ends; feed and nourish partners emotionally and physically.
We selflessly sacrifice to shore up and protect those we love; rise to defenses when others don't dare; keep sorrow whole and move forward fluidly.
I'm grateful and humbled by the women who came before me to clear paths, push cielings and defy definition.
Luz pa'toda ellas que nos guardan.
