My reflections are based on my experiences with the immigrant community here: I am a community feminist because I feel patriarchal violence in my body and I see it impacting other girls' and women's bodies. The "community" in "feminist" recognizes that I am interconnected with the bus driver, the house cleaner, the cook, the caregiver, the street vendor, the teacher, the unhoused, the drug "addict," and those who also feel patriarchal violence in their bodies. I see them. joannacbeltran https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867741805 2021-11-04 15:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867741805 odenobabor https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867744273 I am gender-nonconforming as I acknowledge western gendering as harmful. ]]> 2021-11-04 15:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867744273 odenobabor https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867746707 I am working middle class in the United States.

I am a popular educator practicing a community praxis. I am part of a community space in El Monte to imagine liberation. I am in solidarity with all oppressed people.I am a hood scholar always prioritizing my roots. I am intergenerational because can't forget who raised me. I am healing in community and my heart feels happy. https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867753994 2021-11-04 15:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867753994 odenobabor https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867754224 I am a student]]> 2021-11-04 15:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867754224 I am love. Colonialism/coloniality, imperialism, warfare, and everyday violence has not and will not steal my ability to love and feel loved. <33333 joannacbeltran https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867755587 2021-11-04 15:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867755587 odenobabor https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867757919 I am first a spirit that responsibilities to my past and for the future]]> 2021-11-04 15:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867757919 I am a leftist because I believe those who have been historically oppressed deserve to live dignified lives. My leftist thought has been inspired by the urban and guerrilla struggles of the 70s and 80s in what is known as El Salvador (or Kuskatan in Náhuat). Being a leftist is to honor those who were massacred/killed, forcibly disappeared, raped, and tortured. Their legacy matters. Being a leftist also means remembering their legacy and continuing to fight for the things they fought for. joannacbeltran https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867769994 2021-11-04 15:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867769994 https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867795613
I am the sister of Nathan and Anouk and the daughter of Paul and Nathalie, but I have also been raised by France-Lise and Daniel and my Guadeloupe family as well as by many others from different places. I am a mix of what they taught me and they accompany me in my andanzas.

I am from France but I was born elsewhere. I am from Villiers sur Marne, from Le Havre, from Champagnole and from Rosario. I have been a foreigner in the places I have lived most of my life. I am currently in New York but this is not where I am consciously grounded.

I am a woman and I built my feminist praxis along my companeras in the streets of Rosario.

I am white and from a bourgeois background and I had to unlearn many things. However, I am the nieta of working class women and I consider myself to be working class.

I am in a permanent state of indignation and/or rabia. I am mostly driven by what I experienced and learned in Argentina but not only.

I am a woman and I built my feminist praxis along my companeras in the streets of Rosario.

I am what they call cis-hetero but I suffer the consequences of heteronormativity and patriarchy and reject the hierarchies it imposes on my body and on the way I love and interact with others.

I am a student, a researcher, an instructor but I do not define my life based on my academic work. I am committed to engage with and transform the realities I am embedded in. I am constrained by the social forces around me but I will not give up the better futures I am capable of imagining.

I am an extension of iximulew, lands that sometimes feel unfamiliar, yet my mind, body, and soul know and are carried by those roots.

I am a queer femme whose masculine and feminine coexists and my love for women and their beings has no bounds, it goes beyond this earthly plane.

I am a tia, sister, partner, daughter, prima, friend, and a comrade because my refusal to reproduce is my commitment to nurture the living.

I am a survivor with rage because while the violence my body has experienced has impacted parts of me that I still don’t know, my rage wants to build in spite of it.

I am a dreamer and a learner opening myself to other ways of being, allowing myself to imagine the worlds we have yet to live and to recognize the power in all the life around me.

I am a lover because love is a verb and because it is love that allows me to move against fear, even if it is the smallest step.

]]> 2021-11-04 15:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867807699 I am 5,000 miles from where I took my first breath, a place I have struggled to remain connected to. I am a an immigrant, a formally undocumented student, and now a citizen. I am always unfolding and changing in ways I don't control, and shifting and morphing in ways undetectable by the eyes of the state. I am a person pushed out of schools who found healing in community. I am an organizer/activist/artist, I use poetry when academic words aren't enough to hold spirit. I am weaving hilos between/with everyone I meet, across space and time. I am a traveller across worlds in the here and now, yesterday, and tomorrows. I am in this body that shapes my existence, often against my wishes. It's soft contours hide the jagged edges, a weapon useful for many battles gone and coming. I am the daughter of rape and resistance. A colonial contradiction. A representation of an ongoing genocide and yet I exist fully as myself. I am brown, color of the earth. I am here as the embodiment of liberation in transition always and still I rest in the shadows where healing happens. I am more than me, I am you. I am a wanderer but I am not aimless. I am learning and remembering that my first breath gave me more than life, it gave me memories I must recall and use for the long journey back home. farashti1 https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867808276 2021-11-04 15:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/odenobabor/3uwg36bxntxsu1pe/wish/1867808276
