Literature

“Nothing happens in the "real" world unless it first happens in the images in our heads”

-Gloria Anzaldúa

“Transfronterizx to me means to be an individual who habitually crosses a borderline thru ports of entry.”

“Being Transfronteriza for me means being someone who belongs and navigates two places, culturally and physically. It means having a privilege of traveling between two frontiers and standing up with and for communities that don't have a voice

"To be Transfronteriza for me is to be from here and from there; transcending and resisting the border, my heart belongs to both cities, and my being is a bridge for communities in both nations through unity and solidarity. "
