Happy Birthday to my mama ! Today, May 16th, I light a candle , play Maelo and Frankie Ruiz for you mom. Today, I remember your laughter, your jokes, your food, your smell , your voice, your warm hugs , your love… today I celebrate you a little more than I do on other days- because you were physically here, you changed everything you touched & you left love here on your way to another existence.

To every mother who is power - not the kind they write about, but the kind that changes everything.
Who showed us strength isn’t the opposite of softness. Who did the work nobody saw them to do. Who filled our homes with knowledge and our hearts with ancestry.
Who said: you can be everything.
This Mother’s Day, we honor the women who redefined power for us. The ones we’re still learning from.

Radical mothering is a political act of caregiving and resistance that connects the personal, intimate work of parenting with struggles for social justice, community care, and liberation. #happymothersday
Mother’s Day Eve
Im not sure why our children choose us to come through , but I do know my sun’s manifestation on the planet made me stronger, sharper, joyful .. I grew up ...My sun is the blessing that made it easier to get up when I was down , the smile , hug , presence that made me feel like I must be very special to get to mother him, I rediscovered wonder - suddenly , I noticed, ants , ladybugs and caterpillars, I watched clouds turn into animals and I was invested in Yu-gi oh and Howl’s Moving Castle . I read Toad and Frog with him and Harry Potter . I ridiculously spent $40 on what was it really a rare Pokemon card. Yellow became my favorite emo-song and well, Im still working on Kid Cudi. Mothering is a process where we are raising each other , learning, making mistakes, doing amazing things and laughing louder than you thought you could .. This is my baby, my heart , my joy and I thank him for choosing me and God for this blessing everyday 🌻
