This Instagram post features another quote from Anzaldua, which is also very empowering. I believe the quote is representing how Anzaldua will not be silenced no matter how or who tries to silence her.

This was one of my favorite quotes from when I was studying Anzaldua last year, and still continues to be one of my favorites. Although its short and simple, its still extremely powerful. She's saying how her speech and actions cant be controlled or stopped without forcing her, that representing cutting out her tongue.
