They ask me to check the box for
“race”
And I think
And think very seriously
 
Then I begin to imagine writing down my truth
The whole truth
And have my answer read

My skin ...
Brown and greener than a dollar 

My face ...
My eyes flying wider than a saucer 

It is like ... 
Carmel on concrete 

 When I look at my face in the mirror, I see ...
Pieces of others before me

When you look at my face I want you to see ...
Your own reflection 

(in unison)
But they didn’t ask me for “the whole truth”
They ask me to check the box for
My race
 
And I continue to think
And think very seriously
 
I imagine I am writing down my truth

And my answer will read like this.
 
I have ... 
My mother of venus 

A Babylonian priestess

Steering our ship to lands of gold 

Weathering storms

Two hearts behold !

We have arrived 

In the lands of gold 
 
inside this body. 
I have …

The spirit of my ancestors

The angelic guidance of my beloved family members who have passed

Fueling my fire 

The smoke of my soul

rising higher and higher 

inside this body.

(in unison) 
They ask me to check the box for
My race
 
And I continue to think
And think very seriously
 
This is my truth

And my answer will be read like this.

I have ... 

Nights at the drive-ins 

Our Lexus had the best heater

It could cut through the cold 

We weathered many storms in our Lexus  

inside this body. 

I have …

My prayers 

The faith instilled in me

Filling me with hope 

A Shining light of guidance 

inside this body.

I have …

Memories of speaking Aramiac to my great grandmother 

Blessed with her presence during her time in this realm

I still see her in my dreams

 My beloved angels on every corner 

I MUST live life to the fullest


inside this body.

(in unison)
These are my truths


I am …

Weird and wonderful 

Strange and Unusual

Authentic and Romantic

Passionate about all things 

I am …

My own knight and shining armor 

I have...

An obligation to shine on the stage of life 

I am the sweetest villain 

inside this body.
 
(in unison)
I know my truths

Yet still they ask me to check the box for
My race

And there is no room for me to write my whole truth
So I simply “check all of the boxes that apply”
 

  • Latino or Hispanic 
  • Middle Eastern or other 
  • African American

I must admit that I imagine my collage as a vision board for my future Rolling Stones cover. This collage is a tiny glimpse into my mind...

My collage has pieces of images that are of importance to me. My family came to America in the 1970s. They lived in Chicago for many years before my Grandfather encouraged everyone to move to the Bay Area. He had big dreams of living out his artist life in San Francisco. 

The Seawolf and the Seawolf living images are symbolic to my time at Sonoma State University. Go Seawolves ! I love imagining myself as a Seawolf emerging from the water.

I included the fine arts image as I am a painter, just like my Grandpa. ❤️

Additionally, I am a musical artist and plan to drop my album at the right time, when the stars align.

Come crashing in

All I ever needed

They can only do harm

Words are meaningless
