People have been life-saving for me. My last grandmother died 11 years ago. She was the last person that made me feel connected to the land. I know my parents don’t feel the same way I do. I know they are planning on “spending their last days there.” I know I’ll feel connected again then. Until then, my community is here. Home is here.

Hi Tiktok. I have gained this privilege that I didn’t earn. It wasn’t because I’m a good person, or because I was a good student, or because I have a business, but because in the eyes of USCIS, I am useful to a citizen. So here I am, acknowledging both my grief and my privilege.
As usual, I hope to be around more often, but I can’t promise I will because I’m not sure I can keep the promise.
Have questions? I’m open to answering them!

Public speaking terrifies me. It started when I first arrived in the U.S. at the age of 14, as both teachers and students used to make fun of my accent.
In 11th grade, I had to do a 5 minute presentation about my family. I refused to do it. I brought the project but asked the professor to not make me do it. I asked to give me an F for the project but to please not make me. Speaking used to be humiliating. That took my grade to an A-, and as a perfectionist, that was painful to say the least.
In 2018, on the day of the orientation for grad school, I chocked up and stumbled on my words and I guess I appeared as incompetent or… foreign? I don’t know, but one of my classmates approached me at the end and told me she could get me the books translated in Spanish… to help me. Now, THAT was humiliating.
Up until 2020, I would overcompensate by practicing for WEEKS before a presentation or starting to work with clients and memorizing all the words I would say because I didn’t want my peers, clients or professors to think I wasn’t good enough to be in the program, or to be a therapist.
When I graduated, I HAD to create a business and speaking engagement became a way to financially survive. I don’t think my inner child could believe her eyes if she saw me doing this.
I’m grateful for her. For not giving up. For keeping that hope alive. And for standing her ground.

Do you have any requests? ChatGPT doesn’t have our spiciness. Just saying! 😌💅
Lol😆 all jokes aside. Its scary to advocate for ourselves, but the reality is that organizations are looking out for their success, even if it involves burning out their workers 😮💨

I’m a visual person and numbers help when checking-in with myself. My emotional capacory is an an 8 and thats a reminder to be careful and not continue to push. Where are you on a scale of 1-10, 1 being NEVER BETTER and 10 being I’M AT MY LIMIT?
