@BarackObama Happy birthday my dear (honorable former First Lady!) I admire your spirit and brilliance! I was a visiting fellow at Princeton in the Sociology Dept’s Center for Migration and Developemnt in 2012-14. Was sweetly surprised to see your picture in the Dept’s office as an alumn.I

@LeahRemini Congratulations! You are indeed making history for many women in the US and the world!

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@MetropolisInt96 excellent! In time for my joining as an international and diverse member.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@GiniaNYT Ok. Still, excellent work.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@GiniaNYT
Dear Ginia, I write to ask if you used to cover news at Fordham Univ., circa 2007. I believe you wrote a news report on my research that year focused on daughters of immigrants in Holland. It is a pleasure to find one of your articles at CCNY, my present institution.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

Hello Gina Bellafante, did you used to work at Fordham University's Rose Hill Campus in 2006-2008? I believe you interviewed me about my research among the daughters of immigrants in Amsterdam. But, now I am not all certain! But, thank you for your reporting about Ciro Escala.

@LisaEllisonsPen Thank you Lisa! I need to constantly remind myself that I don’t live just to work!

@JenniSapio Thank you Jeniffer for sharing this. I miss things about teaching I took for granted: My students’ fresh faces, their silences when immersed on a topic we discuss or when simply bored! I miss their laughters, even the disapproving eyes of those I know would cost dearly to teach!

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@ruszczyksoc Felicidades Stephen! This is quite an accomplishment! Much deserved by you and your family! Norma.

@wai01 @nypost We are such a culture of violence! I can believe some psychos would go off asking a you g woman to pretend to shut her vagina!! Insane.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@nypost Social media or virtual reality and Hollywood’s culture of violence and greed lead some people, especially the young and the mentally ill, to grow up without regard foe others or compassion, leading to cruelties of this kind.

@williamlegate No FBI agent will disclose his/her identity if they are investigating you! Unless she is pulling your legs.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@PIX11News Omg! What savagery! This is a cowardly act and speaks of the decadence in social cohesion or care and humanity foe each other. One thing is rob someone; another is to brutally want to kill them!

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@noah_erin @Deeesssstiny__ Im@so very sorry. May God give you strength to with this very painful loss, perhaps the most painful we could ever experience.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@JBanghart @brelouise_8 @RedHourBen Indeed. Thank you for this new perspective.’ It moves us away from blaming into each other when more than ever we need to ally and work together to help our nation heal.

@KatMeanJean @derrytweets What makes one to divorce after 20 or 30 years? Realizing that one has grown and matured and their partner hasn’t, that his/her vision of marriage, companionship or fidelity has changed or was a mirage!

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@VanceStewart2 @politvidchannel Excellent question! How to find out?

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@jencoles9 What other options to a divorce? Legal separation and time to receive counseling for you and the children, mostly, in preparation. Divorces are more painful, the longer you wait. Ideally, high school and colleges courses on marriage and divorce should be required.

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@TinaBeattie @sox_morgan @reformed_ace Perfect! Love this! Again, children’s are our future! I have four daughters and Hooke each will use their higher education and humane upbringing to help make our society more just, especially for women and the “oppressed!”

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@sox_morgan @reformed_ace I love this! I wish the child inside us could always remain unsilenced! Perhaps that’s what it will take@to create social change in religious oligarchies and their ancient and male dominated, ecclesiastical authorities!

[Norma Fuentes-Mayorga @MayorgaFuentes]

@JoanThomas_Sky @reformed_ace Oh my God! This is much! As a sociologist and a Christian I am amazed at the different tone and content of sermons in my mother’s working poor and my own affluent middle class church: While her pastor speaks of a God of condemnation and restriction mine exalts him for his gifts!
