1. Gertrudis Boca Negra:Gertrudis was born in Michoacán, Mexico and read widely during her youth. When the fight for Mexico’s independence began, she was quick to support the country in which she was born in. Gertrudis served as a messenger for the regions of Pazcuaro and Tacambaro (keeping these principal locations of the rebellion in contact) during the revolution. During her time in Pazcuaro she helped capture the city and was herself captured by the Spanish crown. She was tortured…See More

Jasmine Villa commented on Vasti Saray Carrion's blog post A new Stereotype? Or maybe not so "new"?"I have not been discriminated in college, in part because the school I attend is predominantly Hispanic. I do feel that non-hispanic students may be at a disadvantage at times, in some courses. For example, for my Intro to Rhetoric and Writing…"
Vasti Saray Carrion's blog post was featuredA new Stereotype? Or maybe not so "new"?
I often hear Latina women getting stereotyped with having dark hair and eyes, wide hips, being "sexy", loud among other things. Well, there is a new stereotype around girls! And it's that of how just because most of us didn't learn English as a native language, people seem to think that we either need help or can not write well in English. That has been the case with me and my friend Maria (so far in our college experience). In our poetry class, after my friend Maria read her poem out loud in…See More

The Smile
By: Vasti Carrion
the hair became brittle,
and the smile became brighter
the hair lost it's brightness,
and the smile grew wider
skin lost elasticity
and the smile became prouder.

Greetings, Vasti! I was reading the editorial team bios, and yours stood out because I currently attend Santa Monica College, too! Also, I was intrigued when I read that you "will someday make a discovery that will prove that Latin America had a civilization as old as the Mesopotamian civilization!" I sincerely wish you the best of luck with that. I can't wait for you to do that and for you to share your discovery with the rest of us! *-*
