Such a beautiful project to have been involved in. Gracias amiga @isabel_carolinaaa for telling these important stories 🇬🇹♥️ #Repost @isabel_carolinaaa ・・・ “TÚ PASADO ESO MI PRESENTE” LA MUJER INDÍGENA My upbringing with immigrant parents was very much rooted in being proud of our indigenous roots. My father was part of the La Guerrea in Guatemala in the 70’s. He taught me about Che Guevara, the resistance and fight that our indigenous people endured and the reality’s of colonization in Central + South America. How our people are one with Mother Nature, understanding the land and the creatures and their is so much more than this consumerist society America has built. I wanted to take the moment to honor who were in the past when our mayan society’s were thriving. The funny part is when you go back to the homelands, our roots and languages are very much alive. I don’t ever want to forget that we come from such an extraordinary culture. That we all come from indigenous roots and the layers of magic we are made from. When I ponder identity, I imagine two different realities that co-exist in tension within my soul: the experience of my immigrant parents, who fought for a better life for their children, and my experience as a first generation Latina raised in Los Angeles. My parent’s sacrifice gave me a foundation of security, enabling me to evolve and expand my way of living, working and creating. This is an experience — and at times a burden — that many immigrants face. The archetypes of the immigrant experience serve as a palette for future generations to transform. Our privilege to express ourselves is made possible by the humble and hard work of our living ancestors.
