Hi everyone, I'm giving a talk today at 5.30pm if you're free, it's on my project @nospacelikehome which aims to capture stories & heritage from my childhood home the Mexican American downtown community of Austin Texas -- disappearing from gentrification

BREAKING: We reached a settlement with CBP for illegally detaining two US citizens for speaking Spanish in Montana.

During our litigation, we obtained alarming texts degrading Latinx people and video confirming that agents regularly racially profile.

We MUST end these abuses.

#elephantandcastle is to the Latin community, what Brixton was to West Indians & Peckham to West Africans.

In all the need for regenerating areas let’s not erase the beautiful cultures & businesses that contribute to making these places vibrant, profitable & attractive.

The Latin Village is a vital hub for the Latinx and wider BAME community in London. Home to dozens of small businesses, most of which are run by women, it is a beloved community meeting point for Latinx people across London. Much like the @LatinElephant .

One of the things I often want to tell beginning Black studies scholars: Don’t assume the archives don’t exist simply because they haven’t been collected. There is so much unculled material in the world. This is *still* an archaeological project.

It’s not a secret, @icegov @DHSgov & the Trump Administration are white supremacists who are ok with endangering the lives of immigrants, migrants, & refugees. #FreeThemAll #abolishICE

The third of the 3 'animistic entities'/souls/life forces in ancient #Mesoamerica is the most mysterious: Ihiyotl (in the liver) - night air/wind, breath, bad smells, Will-o-the-wisp and more... We give you the low-down on all three... https://t.co/TNkapAkNOM

“The bodega is a microcosm of a world left behind, a world where people live day­-to-day and social customs attest to strong family ties and Caribbean machismo.”
