Todos estamos orgullosos de ti. I’m an old lady of Native decent that practices a bit of español every day because I love the culture and people. I loved the video!

Thank you for sharing your world with us. We had a huge Dia de Los Muertos celebration in Kansas City. Thank you for the fight and keeping us in it, day after day. Keep up your work. Your father is most proud.

Thank you for bringing attention to the border, for letting people know it’s not what they hear. I also grew up on the border (Nogales, AZ) in the 1980s. I learned early on that my birth in the US was simply luck, that borders could be fluid spaces and not just bright lines on the map.
