In 1954, this racist policy perpetuated anti-Mexican sentiment throughout the nation. "Operation Wetback" upended the lives of tens of thousands of Mexicans – many of whom were born in the United States. While this mass deportation took place more than 50 years ago, we can still feel the impact of this program reflected in immigration rhetoric today. . . . #PulsoTalk #Latinos #Hispanic #Culture #Latinas #History #News #LatinoCulture #HispanicCulture #LatinoPride #LatinosBeLike #LatinoPower #LatinoHistory #LatinoNews #MexicanAmericanHistory #MexicanAmerican #Immigration #ImmigrantStories #Immigrants #Immigrant #ImmigrantRights #ImmigrantsWelcome #HumanRights (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChCqxeTumhr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For today’s #HispanicHeritageMonth post, I wanted to shed light on the book Reaching for the Stars by the first Mexican American Astronaut Jose M. Hernàndez. Here is how the book is described:

“Born into a family of migrant workers, toiling in the fields by the age of six, Jose M. Hernàndez dreamed of traveling through the night skies on a rocket ship. Reaching for the Stars is the inspiring story of how he realized that dream of becoming a NASA astronaut.

Hernàndez didn’t speak English till he was 12, and his peers often joined gangs, or skipped school. And yet, by his twenties he was part of an elite team helping develop technology for the early detection of breast cancer. He was turned down by NASA eleven times on his long journey to donning that famous orange space suit.

Hernàndez's message of hard work, education, perseverance, of "reaching for the stars,” makes this a classic American autobiography.“

The book shows that you can always achieve your goals and dreams regardless of where you are from. If you want it, you can do it!!! Give it a read!!!

Reposted from @wokedoctors “You see this is what we’re not gonna do. Please don’t be like this person. Statements like this one from Paul Massaro, current advisor to the U.S. on foreign affairs, are violent and harmful because they contribute to the erasure of oppressed populations from around the world, throughout history and in the present time. These statements show why the histories of indigenous, colonized and enslaved people need to taught in schools everywhere. And why cultural studies, Critical Race Theory, and theories of colonization AND decolonization need to be interrogated and centered in discussions of history, geopolitics, and foreign affairs. Because otherwise, this is what you get: people who go through our education system and remain ignorant about the way things work and the atrocities and crimes happening in their own back yard, and who then get put in positions of power without understanding how their ignorance is harmful to the people around them and those they purport to serve. We can support Ukrainian without pushing ignorant, racist, colonial, Eurocentric, anti-Black, and white supremacist narratives. We can applaud Ukraine’s resistance without undermining and erasing the resistance, struggle and suffering of other people. Resistance is not uniquely European. To say so is utterly disingenuous. Resistance by oppressed people is necessary, righteous, and “legendary” ALL the time— and not just when white Europeans do it.” - @drbryanleyva Paul Massaro got his ass handed to him, but he had it coming. We need to be more mindful with our words.

Aztecs called tamales ‘tamalii’ which simply means “wrapped food” in Nahuatl.

#mextasy #lahistory #mexicanamerican ⬇️ Posted @withregram • @picturingmexicanamerica Next time you visit LA Plaza, look around you. Imagine yourself on the way to La Esperanza, one of the most influential, Mexican-owned establishments in the district’s history. While we’re big fans of 19th century Mexican Californian history around here, today we travel to the twentieth century to bring you something a little more appetizing (literally!). ⁠ ⁠ Ezequiel Moreno trained as a baker in his hometown of Zacatecas, Mexico. In 1916, he and his wife, Guadalupe de la Torre, settled in East Los Angeles. Only two years later, Moreno purchased three horse-drawn carts to sell Mexican bread in Maravilla, Belvedere, and Boyle Heights, according to historian William David Estrada. The business grew quickly, and by the 1920s, Moreno had carts delivering bread throughout Los Angeles County. ⁠ ⁠ Eventually, Moreno opened five restaurant-bakeries. He named them all La Esperanza, but the primary location was found at 507 North Main Street. La Esperanza was popular with everyone in the Plaza throughout its run. Mexican immigrants who settled in LA as a result of the Revolution especially appreciated the bakery, including former President Plutarco Elias Calles!⁠ ⁠ La Esperanza was successful for several decades, and didn’t close down until the 1960s. To read more about its influence on LA Plaza history, check out William Estrada’s excellent book - The Los Angeles Plaza: Sacred and Contested Space (call #979.41 L881Es-1). ⁠ ⁠ Photo: Ezequiel Moreno in front of La Esperanza, around 1940s.

This came up in my Facebook memories as my most liked photo of 2013. Initially, Mama would wrinkle her nose at extra attention. Gradually, over the years I got her to do interviews, photo shoots and podcasts that turned up in magazines, social media and newspapers from time to time. This was one of the more involved photo shoots. She played along fantastically. These are some of my most favorite pics of us. Mama said she knew the world was changing when she stopped being called Doña Nati of @tamalegirllb so much and became @MamaTamale, mother of @TinaTamale. She would give a big hearty laugh and raise her eyebrows at me. I would crack up at her amusement, how Life takes twists and turns. This @SFGATE article was something she was really proud of all of us, Las Niñas de LB. #imissmymama #natividadramos #laborinquenamexicatessen #latinohistory #latinohistoryinOakland #tamalegirl #heritage #cultura (at La Borinqueña Mex-icatessen & Specialty Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJKk6Qlh19L/?igshid=7i6n9ltwm5qz

Sandra Cisneros, Pixar's Coco, and Latinx representation

Let’s talk about representation, but first, navigation. As in, I have only ever navigated and existed in this world as a women of color (WoC), more specifically, as a Latina. And everything within this identity that I have come to view as a blessing was once its own set of wounds, inherited or otherwise. When I say “inherited wounds”, I mean that women of color either know or come to know that this world was not built for us to thrive in (see racism, sexism, and all of it’s intersections) . And this knowledge is passed down or born into us. It is inherited. And then becomes a truth you cannot separate us from. You cannot separate me from my struggle without erasing a vital part of who I am. But that is understood by those I allow into my life. Now, if you do not know me too well, then here are the basics:

I am a Latina WoC. I am an artist. I have big dreams. Many goals. No blueprint. And very little representation in the fields I wish to break into. All of these smaller truths have molded my bigger, more personal one which is that -

I have had to carve out and fight for the space I occupy. I have had to dig deep and coach my now booming voice out of its body. I have had to seek out my own mentors, role-models, and inspirations who looked like me and navigated the world in a similar way. And mostly, I have grown up impatient and starving for representation.

One way I actively heal and seek out representation is by consciously consuming and surrounding myself with art, films, media, literature, podcasts, and all content produced by women, PoC, and mostly Latinxs. This month it has looked like this:

I’m not sure why Sandra Cisneros didn’t come into my life sooner being that she is one of the most prominent Latinx writers of our time, but I’m glad I was able to sit down with her words. There is an indescribably comforting feeling that comes with knowing that someone who shares the same name as your mother, has a father with a voice like yours, shares part of your history, can love in the same two languages you can, can easily pass for one of your tia’s, and dreams the way you do, has already accomplished so much. And it’s not that you ever need permission to be great, but reading her books felt like a silent permission.

These books provided a mirror and a temporary home for me. An excerpt from A House of My Own illustrates why perfectly. Cisneros writes, "We find ourselves at home, or homing, in books that allow us to become more ourselves. Home 'is not just the place where you were born,' as the traveler Pico Iyer once noted. 'It's the place where you become yourself.'"

part 2 in this month’s healing looked like this:

Before going to see Pixar’s newest box-office hit “Coco”, I was warned not to wear my signature winged eye-liner to the theater. Two on-screen duets and several wet tissues later, I was glad I had adhered to that advice.

If after my previous spiel about representation and navigating the world as a Latina/WoC you are still wondering what warranted such a teary-eyed response (besides the fact that Pixar endlessly loves to pluck at the heart strings of their audience) I want you to picture this:

A young Latina woman with the goal of one day becoming a successful actress goes to the cinema and for the first time in her twenty-two years of living is watching an animated film in which the characters look like her uncles, and cousins, and aunts. For the first time she can point to the screen and say, “that is me”, “that is us”. And in this way, watching “Coco” felt like coming home; like walking into a room full of the people I love and belong to, but who are rarely ever celebrated - especially in such a public way.

I went to see this movie with my boyfriend and nine-year-old sister. Being able to take her to see this film was another victory in itself (on par with being able to take her to see Wonder Woman). I had to wait twenty-two years to see this kind of representation in film; one that is both authentic and empowering. But my sister is still in the midst of her childhood; still being molded and shaped into the person she will become later in life, and I hope that holding these mirrors up to her this early on in her development will prevent her from inheriting the wounds I have had to fight daily to heal myself from.

And so, in the midst of all the tears, the melancholic sounds of guitar strings strong enough to conjure my grandfather’s face, and holding the hands of my younger sister- a silent way of saying, “can you believe it, Sofie? He (the protagonist) has our last name?” a part of my younger, more broken self was healed and for that I am endlessly grateful.
