Juan shared this photo from where he was harvesting chile in Bakersfield CA. Chile plants are low bushes. Workers must kneel in the dirt to harvest the crop, pushing the bucket ahead of them. It's difficult dirty work, especially when it's wet and muddy. #WeFeedYou

It’s an essay from the heart and I’m very proud to see it out in the world. Many read and commented on this essay in its varied forms, as well as helped me work through ideas through thoughtful conversations. Thank you all! 💛

My first solo publication is here!

I want to give a special thanks to @samanthanpinto añ& @pornoscholar granting me the opportunity to be published alongside great feminist thinkers that shaped my own feminist consciousness and writing.

[Roxanna Villalobos @RoxVilla7]

I draw on feminist thinkers from Latin America to critically engage rurality and gender, seeking for a generative relationship between U.S. intersectionality and transnational feminisms.

[Roxanna Villalobos @RoxVilla7]

In this essay, I argue that rurality remains undertheorized in U.S. intersectional feminist theory as canonical U.S. feminist texts tend to implicitly represent metropolitan spaces when noting the political organizing & economic disadvantages of U.S. women of color.

[Roxanna Villalobos @RoxVilla7]

I also want to thank my feminist mentor @profe_falcon for all her feedback, support, & generative thinking that went towards shaping this essay.

Farmworkers in California are working through unprecedented flooding to make ends meet and put food on tables across the country.

They deserve better. Fair wages and safe working conditions are a start. #FarmworkersAwarenessWeek
