Yreina Flores Ortiz - “La Chingona” artwork and poem
 Today, I will greet the sun as my relative and give the morning my full attention.
I will say “I love you” into the mirror and draw my eyeliner extra straight.
I will not call myself fat because everything in my closet will look good on me.
I will rock my huge Latina hips like the blessing they are.
Watch out!  I might even wear heels.
Today, I will not hand out one unnecessary apology. Today, I will be Chingona!

I will rock my huge Latina hips
like the blessing they are.

Watch out!

Nicaraguan guerrinna sister breast feeding her baby during the Contra War. Orlando Valenzuela’s photography captures the femininity of revolutionary Sandinista women so beautifully.
“I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love and be loved. She can be married, have children, be a mother. Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life.” Leila Khaled

I loved you on purpose /

I was open on purpose /

I still crave vulnerability & close talk…
