times. The best part of coming here has been the dedication I have nurtured for my projects. I am deeply grateful for that, and I will leave again if that is what I truly need. But right now I need to find my way where I am. This is it, and the only way is through. The one thing I got so far is that there is great power in having a creative medium and using my voice. I am committed to developing creative tools, and I am passionate about supporting my people in their own expression. Media is powerful, and we need to be everywhere. So much of this is about rewiring and relearning, and a lot happens when we tell our stories and take up space. As a Dominican woman from the Bronx, that is all soft and heavy inside, I need ways to process this world, and I need outlets that I can use to love and affirm my people and the soft bbys of the world. I am trying to accept that I am where I am, and heavy heart or not, this is it.
