Amiga del alma. Eight yrs ago I held your hand as you took your last breath. You taught me not to be afraid of the miracle of passing to the other side. And you have stayed with me. Over the last week my dear friend Cecilia has been watching over me. She has brought me many gifts. She has delivered an interview that I’ve been trying to get for several years. She’s giving me a lot of possibility and positivity. She has affirmed that I should believe in myself, and everything I have built along with my great colleagues. Cecilia is watching over me as my angel. As my journalistic godmother. My Madrina. The candles remain lit, because my best friend in the world is taking care of me. Opening the path and helping me to put 1 foot in front of the other. Ancestral love works. Soon I’ll be able to reveal all of the good tidings that Ceci has brought to me on the anniversary of her transition to mi Santa Cecilia.
For years @suavegonzalez215 used to call me to speak to my students from prison. Now he is in-person at the Ivy League. Dreams come true! Oh, and did you know that we are working on season two of the SUAVE podcast?

This foto right here is my life. Mi vida. Tampico. 1970s. Mi abuelito. My gorgeous parents. My fly sister. My cool bros. And me. I think I was trying to fit in with American kids by trying to like sports. I think this is a hockey jersey. Well, because I lived in Chicago then. Hockey, of course. My cousins from Mexico sent this last night in our chat abt our Tampico memories when about 20 of us would gather for summer or Christmas celebrations and I just wanted to share. This is the real me. 🇲🇽
Me and my colega @democracynow #AmyGoodman We’ve been friends and colleagues since 1986 and WE STILL OUT HERE! ✌🏽

We out here. And no, we did not speak before to coordinate our outfits. @penileyramirez is a beast as a journalist and a valued and loved @futuromedia @futuroinvestigates leader de verdad. De las que no se rinden. It was good to be out, celebrating our colleagues tonight. @columbiajournalism
Celebrating the journalists who brave it all for our profession in Latin America. Felicidades to @nayaroldan for her @columbiajournalism #MariaMoorsCabotAward citation @penileyramirez @jelani1906
Cheeky picture with a lot of cheeks. The wonderful @andreafelliott came to @barnardcollege to visit my class. Always fun to have a fellow Pulitzer winner come visit.
My first hermanas weekend w/m sister @behb1313 has been a total success including gardening and 🍸
Annual Mini LIPS @melbasharlem We laughed sooooo much. Shared so much bochinche! I hadn’t seen my girls since June so this was a great time to catch up. I love how estas mujeres make me believe in myself and believe in our 30 years of friendship. Solidarity among Latina journalists is essential. But even better is sisterhood. Hermandad. Carcajadas. Abrazos. 🥰♥️💋💋💋
