08102022 | gratitude

i lost my voice at game night. that carnival cruise was amazing. my skins sundrenched and i got so much rest. i sat in a king sized cabana floating in the inky blue ocean reading in the moonlight. catching up on sermons. i slept w no alarm. had no notifications for days. the food was incredible. there was cold pressed juices, every brand of tequila, fresh seafood, a burrito bar, and by the end we were making loaded fries between the taco and burger restaurants. a whole spa, a few jacuzzis (cleaned often), a gym, and an outdoor movie theater. u ever watched a movie on a 22ft outdoor screen from a jacuzzi built into a boat?! and finally, somebody pulled a tiddy out at a adult-only show. 11/10 wld recommend.

bae got our all inclusive tix + drink pkg. i got our tips, petty cash & entertainment. love our team work 🫶

(tlcs creep came on and these are from the pjs section at target so i did a drunken music video in my cabin)

new books: wild tongues cant be tamed. ed. saraciea j. fennell. latinx heritage month is important. as i embrace and revive faded cuban parts of my family tree, these narratives bring a sense of community i didnt know i had w others more dominantly ethnically latinx ppl. the isolation melts, the chatter stops (wondering what other ppl think of your Blackness/otherness), and you come home in a way you didnt know was available to you in your own skin.

also got honey and spice by bolu babalola. its got 🔥 reviews so i had to cop it.

15 day streak in duo lingo! look at that! i used to be on unit 8 and now im on 2. and that sucks but i did take at least a year off so i should be crispy by the time I finish all my units. In the meantime I researching free resources for Spanish learners that uses real-life conversations in real-time. And researching personal tutors, to reach full fluency.

growing out of struggling to let go of my expectations of others this week. but i apologized and coped through it. learning that letting go isn't just cashing in on Gods underground economy of forgiveness and grace. true forgiveness instantly gives me mental clarity and hearts-space to be present and impactful w the things i can control.

the more efficiently i can forgive things outside of my control, the more present I am. i can recharge and be fully re-invested emotionally in playing my part in my own total wellness. And that much closer to my dreams.

this is very important in relationships. as a recovering perfectionist - i struggle. ❤️‍🩹 but im grateful for these lessons.

fall nails in a tuxedo black. the minimalist design suggests depth. love that. marvelous, deep infinitely unknown blk. ✨

#gratitude #personal #rdy

Reading and Blog Update

First off, I'm trying to find a title that is a bit more interesting than "Reading and Blog Update"

I've been getting some reading done! Shall I tentatively say the reading sump is over?? So far this year, I've read 8 books(?!?!) including:

Marked by PC Cast & Kristen Cast (this is for a project I'm working on)

Wait for Night by Stephen Graham Jones

How to Succeed in Witchcraft by Aislinn Brophy

The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson

Wild Tongues Can't be Tamed edited by Saraciea J. Fennell

When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey

Spy X Family Vol. 8 by Tatsuya Endo

Dawn by Octavia E. Butler.

You may notice that I did not include ratings. That is because I'm working on a more comprehensive rating and reviewing system. I really struggle with organizing my thoughts for reviews, and I'm wanting to start giving ratings based on more than just my enjoyment of the book (though that will still be a factor) because I'm fairly easy to please when it comes to books.

I don't plan on going back and re-rating all 800+ books I've read over the course of my life, but I do think I'll re-evaluate the books I've read so far this year.

I have a three-day weekend this week, so I'm hoping to get a lot more reading done! Here are my current reads:

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

Obie is Man Enough by Schuyler Bailar

The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu

Hope everyone's doing well and getting lots of reading done! Let me know what you're reading right now, and how you're liking it!

Announcing the 2019 CBC Diversity Outstanding Achievement Award Winners

New York, NY – September 28, 2018 – The CBC Diversity Committee is proud to announce the winners of the inaugural CBC Diversity Outstanding Achievement Awards. These awards will be given annually to professionals or organizations in the children’s publishing industry who have made a significant impact on the publishing and marketing of diverse books, diversity in hiring and mentoring, and efforts that create greater awareness with the public about the importance of diverse voices.

The winners were announced at the CBC Annual Meeting in New York City on September 27, and an official ceremony and conversation with the winners will take place on October 24 at a CBC Forum event. The winners will each select an organization to receive one thousand dollars’ worth of children’s books in their name.

Shifa Kapadwala, the CBC Diversity Committee’s moderator, said: “The committee had the great joy and responsibility of reviewing nominations from across the children’s publishing community. In making their selections, the committee has summarized the accomplishments of these inspiring people and organizations.”

The 2019 winners are:

Saraciea J. Fennell, Publicist, Tor

After closing out a successful Kickstarter campaign in early 2018, Tor publicist Saraciea Fennell spearheaded the Bronx Book Festival and The Bronx Is Reading, a literacy program that runs in tandem with the festival and targets underserved schools in the area. Saraciea also serves as a steering member in both the POC and Latinx in Publishing groups, reaffirming her commitment to diversity in children's publishing both inside and out.

Jennifer Loja, President & Publisher, Penguin Books for Young Readers

As President and Publisher of Penguin Young Readers Group, Jen Loja has demonstrated exemplary allyship by supporting diverse voices across PYRG’s publishing program and encouraging diversity and inclusion in hiring. She has shown how publishing executives must work to create space for their teams to bring stories from the margins into the light.

Jason Low, Publisher, Lee and Low Books

Since 1997, Jason Low, of Lee & Low Books, has lead the effort to publish multicultural children’s books. Some of the company’s efforts for increasing diversity on many fronts have been: the New Voices and New Visions Awards for debut authors of color, the first Diversity Baseline Survey to establish an industry benchmark, and the Lee & Low and Friends Scholarship with Simmons College, which alleviates financial obstacles for PoC considering publishing careers.

Beth Phelan, Literary Agent, Gallt & Zacker Literary

In 2016, Beth Phelan, an accomplished literary agent and social media influencer, created a Twitter pitch event aimed at acquiring stories written by marginalized authors and centering the experiences of marginalized characters. With over 80 authors signed by agents, #DVPit is a big success. In addition to being the creator and moderator of #DVPit, Beth actively supports young publishing professionals of color across the industry, and regularly promotes books and authors from marginalized backgrounds.

Phoebe Yeh, VP & Co-Publisher of Crown Books for Young Readers/Random House Children’s Books

More than a few people in this industry can point to a conversation or encouraging word of support from Phoebe Yeh as a cornerstone of their careers. Kwame Alexander, Ellen Oh, Lamar Giles, and Soman Chainani all made their novel debuts with Phoebe behind them. Recently, she published the groundbreaking collection We Rise, We Resist, We Raise Our Voices. If it were not for Phoebe, the fight for diversity in children's books would be years or even decades behind what it is today.

We Need Diverse Books

We Need Diverse Books (WNDB) was created in 2014 to address the lack of diversity in the children's publishing landscape. Spearheaded by founder Ellen Oh and COO Dhonielle Clayton, WNDB has worked tirelessly to acknowledge and encourage diversity in the industry, launching efforts such as the Walter Awards, the Walter Grant, Internship Grants, and WNDB in the Classroom, which gives free diverse books to low-income schools nationwide. WNDB actively creates space for diversity to thrive while starting vital conversations about representation, voice, and inclusion.

About CBC Diversity

CBC Diversity is dedicated to increasing the diversity of voices contributing to children’s and young adult literature — encouraging diversity of race, gender, geographical origin, sexual orientation, and class among both the creators of and the topics addressed by children’s literature. The CBC Diversity Committee organizes speaking events and roundtable discussions, contributes to the CBC Diversity website and newsletter, and develops ways to expand the CBC Diversity Initiative within the industry and out in the communities.

About the Children’s Book Council (CBC)

The Children’s Book Council is the nonprofit trade association for children’s book publishers in North America. The CBC creates reading lists, supports book award programs, and brings together dozens of prominent national organizations who advocate for reading by children and teens. CBC’s signature charitable arm is Every Child a Reader, home of Children’s Book Week, the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, and Get Caught Reading.

Racism is like cancer, ignore it long enough and it will corrupt everything around you including the minds of those it was intended to discriminate against.

A growing number of U.S Latinos are buying into the far-right, white nationalist narrative that’s seeped in hate and contradicts many aspects of their own culture.

One example of this is Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio. He is of Cuban-American and Afro-Cuban background and has for years spread neo-fascist, right-wing ideologies and promoted political violence in the U.S.

He was arrested March 8 on a conspiracy charge for his alleged role in plotting the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Before his latest arrest Tarrio was given a five-month sentence for lynching a Black Lives Matter banner that was taken from a Black church in Washington, D.C. Last November.

Tarrio isn’t the only confused Latino American serving a cause that is against the best interest of people who look like him.

On Feb 23 a Texas man named Jose Gomez III pleaded guilty to three counts of committing a hate crime after he attacked an Asian family because he believed them to be at fault for the COVID-19 pandemic.

But why are these minorities following the agendas of racist white men?

Just like any other nationality, Latino Americans do not all think the same. How many of them perceive themselves is directly corollated to their unique American experience. Most Americans understand when it comes to advancement in the U.S., white usually wins. This concept affects the self-perceptions of minority Americans. If ‘white’ is the winning way, why not call yourself white (if you can pass).

According to Pew Research Center, more than half of Hispanics surveyed identified their race as White (58%), with the next largest share selecting the “some other race” category (27%).

Many Hispanics in the U.S. are identifying as white. This means it’s easier to understand why some of them find solace in right-wing ideologies.

If you don’t relate to the plight of the people who look like you, but instead relate more to the oppressor, you can be convinced that hurting your people is in your best interest.

Nick Fuentes, the leader of a Christian-based extremist white nationalist group is half Mexican American, he identifies as a white supremacist. He’s constantly peddling hate and even promoting violence against immigrants, some of which could even be his distant relatives. But he doesn’t believe he’s Hispanic, when he looks in the mirror he sees a white man, regardless of his last name.

Other experts point to fake news as a catalyst to Latino Americans embracing white nationalism.��According to a report by Nielsen, 28% of news websites where Latinos make up 20% of the audience contained content flagged as mixed, biased, extremely biased, conspiracy, or pseudoscience.

Because young people spend so much time on the internet, they can become indoctrinated into right-wing ideas with no oversight or buffer to the truth. Social media sites help amplify untruths that if you are already feeling disenfranchised can easily grab a hold of you.

Misinformation is geared to steer you in whatever direction its creator intended. If that direction is racism it is not inconceivable to have Latino Americans with right-wing ideologies.

Latino Americans have also had a history of anti-Blackness. Black Honduran author Saraciea J. Fennell admits being taught as a young girl that light skin was better than dark skin. During an interview with CNN, she spoke about watching her siblings use bleach cream on their skin because they believed they were too dark.

“Once I got older, I realized it was an anti-Black practice because I was not being allowed to love the skin that I’m in,” she said during the interview. “We don’t tend to see stories publicly shared by those from the diaspora, it makes it seem as though we don’t exist.”

Minorities in America do not need to be on the opposite side of America’s fight for the soul of the country. White nationalists will try to convince anyone they are on the right side of history. Don’t fall for their malarkey to the point where you despise the people who look like you. If you have a voice to be a leader in the Latino community, don’t be bamboozled into fighting for the racists. Your people need you way more than they do.
