When I graduated with an MFA, I knew I wanted to teach at the college level. Having the opportunity to return to my alma mater as an adjunct lecturer is truly a gift. And my long term goal is to get my PhD so that I may continue a career in academia. I know it’s a white dominated field and I have to bring my own chair to the table. But I have a right to sit at the table. I have the brains, the determination and the passion. And I deserve equal pay. Salary should not be determined by ethnicity or gender. “Each day that a Latina is not paid fairly is one day too many, and the impact of losing even one cent has real consequences for Latinas and our families.” #latinaequalpay

Some days are for red lips and a dope fit... other days are for sleeping till noon, Yogi Calm tea, cuddled up on the sofa in an old cardigan and sweats, grading papers trying to ignore the parade in my head.

I just said this the other day... I feel so much better - physically, emotionally, spiritually - about myself now at 44 than I did at 24. I When I was in my 20s and 30s I used to think of 40 as “old” but it’s not. In so many ways my life is just beginning. I’m not where I want to be but I am hopeful. Although I don’t know what’s next. I do know that I have enough. I do enough. I am enough. And as long as I keep doing the next right thing, the right things will happen. 🪁

It feels really good to be the keeper of my own life. I’m not waiting for things to happen, I’m taking charge and designing the life I want to live. 💛 @shegoeswithgratitude ・・・
You are the keeper of your life. Only you can determine what, when, and how you do things. Be the curator of your own life; design it well. ⠀
