Had the honor of joining @kcalnews this morning along with @wendyamara and @uncappedcreations to talk about the beginnings of @rootsandwings_org and how we are trying to make a difference in such a difficult time.
I couldn’t have imagined that our group would become what it has. We’re going to continue to do everything we can to be the voice of our community and to protect those who are today in fear.

They came into our neighborhoods today — but we’re not staying silent.
We stand with our immigrant brothers and sisters, because this city was built by all of us.
We don’t turn our backs. We don’t look away. We protect our own.
This is our city. And we’re not letting it be stolen from the people who make it home.

We are here. We belong
Our parents crossed borders, leaving behind everything they knew, so we could have a future they could only dream of.
Their sacrifices, their struggles, and their resilience paved the way for us to stand tall today.
As Latino creators, we carry their stories in our voices, their strength in our work, and their dreams in our hearts.
This is more than just a video—it’s a tribute to them, a celebration of us, and a reminder to the world that we are here, we matter, and we belong.
Join us in honoring our roots, amplifying our voices, and uplifting our community.

The future is brighter when everyone is included, and that includes Latino men standing up for progressive values. We belong in every space where leadership is happening, from the work @_jay__gonzalez and I are doing through content creation and community platforms to the leadership Xavier Becerra is showing in his run for Governor.
Representation matters. While the three of us may have been the first Latinos in many positions of leadership, we will not be the last. Our communities deserve leaders with both passion and experience, and that means all of us stepping forward.
We can do this together. Make sure to vote in the California primary election by June 2nd!

It’s something you can’t explain unless you’ve attended a rally. It’s hope. It’s feeling that you can actually trust someone to have integrity to do the right thing.
This isn’t about saying the right things. It’s about having tangible evidence that someone HAS done the right thing. And will continue to do so.
Let them say this or that. But the fact of the matter is that energy doesn’t lie. Character doesn’t lie.
35 years of public’s service. With the hopes of much more to come…

32 years on this planet and I’ve spent every single day fighting for ways to thank you for all of the love you gave me.
You’re the strongest woman I know with a heart full of compassion. Any accolades I’ve achieved have been a result of the effort you put into making sure I had everything I needed to succeed.
Happy Mothers Day…. How did I ever get so lucky to have you as my mother ❤️
Trying to buy your way into power for the second time won’t work. Using our culture and content creators won’t work. You’ve spent millions just to continue to fall behind.
Your attacks sow confusion and only help the republicans advance….

Bien dice el dicho, solo el pueblo salva el pueblo.
Espero poder motivarlos a que se involucren más y salgan a votar! No podemos estar mal informados y no votar!
Nuestro futuro depende de nosotros 🇲🇽❤️
My favorite part of the month is when I receive my monthly set of @fableticsmen gear and then put it thru some grunt work 😤.
