Where I am from
Where I'm from is a chaotic, surreal, and magical land.
From Mexico Tenochtitlan, Mesoamerica, the Mayan's Empire.
We have strong women, more than 200 native languages and an indigenous dish made with more than 40 ingredients.
We have lakes, beaches, rivers,
we have pyramids, intergenerational trauma, and an on-going colonization.
Where I'm from is a complex-violent environment from narco-dealers to supportive people, but I'm also from the land, from my ancestors' skin, I am from the stars of the universe. I am from here and there. I am from my ideas, words, thoughts, my friends and relationships.
I am from mother nature, and one day I will not be from anywhere.
