My peer-reviewed journal article is now out, "Soy de Zoochina: Transborder Comunalidad Practices among Adult Children of Indigenous Migrants." It discusses how Zapotec generations contest their racialization through sociocultural community practices.

Hi all,
This spring I am teaching Space & Critical Cartographies (grad course). As I update my syllabus I am looking for RECOMMENDATIONS. Thus far we're reading:
-Pluriversal Politics: The Real and the Possible 🧵
#AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
Looking for recommendations for a tenant rights lawyer in the City of LA. Any promising leads are appreciated.
Yesterday's march is nothing short of what has been built by our elders in the past 50+ yrs throughout #California and what as children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren we continue to build and sustain- Indigenous sovereignty! #Indigenous #Sovereignty #Oaxacans #TongvaLand
When r we going to stop calling it by its name, RACIAL VIOLENCE?! When our Indigenous & Black children are attacked for the color of their skin, certain features, etc. it is not bullying!!! IT IS RACIAL VIOLENCE! WHITE (LATINX) SUPREMACY INHERENTLY TIED TO SETTLER COLONIALISM!!!
This sh*t is so triggering! It is an emotional rollercoaster! I just hope that for those children who like myself tried to hurt ourselves and internalized self-hate for how we look can overcome all this! #IndigenousAlways #Brownisbeautiful #Blackisbeautiful #BlackandBrown #LA
*Multiple Indigenous Oaxacan band members come together* at #LACityHall during a vigil with Black community members to demand the resignation of Martinez, Cedillo, & DeLeon. ❤️ #Gozona #Indigenous #Black #LA #Oaxaca
Soy de un pueblo alegre!!! Oaxacans are beautiful! We continue to exist & resist! Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! #Guelaguetza 1999 #Picounion #LA #Oaxaca #Oaxacans #happyindigenouspeoplesday
As a Zapotec Professor, born and raised in Koreatown, I am appalled to hear LA City Council members blatant racial attacks. Many of us Indigenous Oaxacans, however, are not surprised to hear this racial violence from non-Indigenous Latinx and Mexicans! It happens EVERYDAY!
I began my research on Indigenous Oaxacan experiences in the US because of my family's and my pueblos (not "villages") transnational autonomous practices across #LosAngeles & #Oaxaca. I concentrate on women and children precisely because of the racial violence we have

Our LASA Panel this Saturday w/@academicmami @jorgenleal, Karina (USC) and Alberto (Princeton)! My presentation discusses how Indigenous visitors/guests from Abiayala disrupt settler renaming of land by remapping Indigenous relational existence & continuity in Turtle Island!
Another LASA panel shameless plug. Join me, @jorgenleal @bnico004 , Karina & Alberto. My presentation is about using Chicana/Latina epistemology to create intentional femtoring while researching Mexican feminicidios through social media.
Scared to see the devastating consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade, esp. for poor women. Like has been said, you can’t overturn abortion, you can only prohibit SAFE abortion!!!
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. politico.com/news/2022/05/02…

Today is “Holy Friday.” All I know is that my institution gave us half the week off and it’s been nice group writing w/my friend-colleagues the entire day! Some few perks of being at a private catholic institution…
