Just like Cherrie Moraga, Xicana feminist, storyteller, activist, and author of A Xicana Codex of Changing Consciousness, I too see the power and wonder in writing- except Moraga uses it to teach and to publicize.…
It started when I was of young age, about seven or eight years old. I had been forced to cut my hair due to the lice on my head.

I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…

A car came from out of nowhere; somehow lost control and found its way wedged under the left side front bumper of the bus. Nevertheless, we did not compete that day. Everyone on the bus had to be checked out by the school’s doctor, Dr. Norris before being released.
