Chicanxs Speak Up
During my educational journey here at CSUMB i went through a healing experience through findinf my self. During my studies I was able to identify with my class SPAN 330: Hispanic Testimonials I learned that through this testimonial genre a marginalized person denounces an injustice. Through my Chicano courses I was able to feel empowered and with he fusion of these and my spirituality I took the courage to share a wound that needed to heal. I decided to share my story through a poem. I shared an intimate dark part of my life, I decided to finally speak up. I am in the process of a special project to advocate towards those in the Chicanx/Latinx community who remain silent about abuse with the hope to bring awareness of the on going issues in our communities. Below i share with you my healing poem.
