Que chingona la gente que decide ser feliz, cumplir sus metas, que decide soltar lugares, personas, situaciones que los obstaculizan, que chingón estar tranquilo, vivir en paz, sin depender, sin incertidumbre, qué chingón tomar oportunidades que te hagan crecer y no tenerle miedo a mirar atrás y aprender de ello, que chingona esa gente, yo quiero ser esa gente.✨

December 12th is La Fiesta de la Virgen de Guadalupe celebrating an apparition of The Goddess in the guise of Maria Mother of Jesus to an Indigenous man in Mexico named Cuauhtlatoatzin- and dubbed Juan Diego by Catholics. The Holy Mother’s words spoken in native Nahuatl to a humble Aztec man on the slopes of Tepeyac, the very site of the destroyed Aztec temple of Earth Goddess Tonantzin, bolstered the spirit of a brutalized population that yet persists through continued colonization today, allowing original peoples of Mexico to continue ancient traditions and pass knowledge through generations under the mantle of Her protection as a disguise. 🌹

The miraculous vision of Guadalupe that appeared upon Juan Diego/Talking Eagle’s tilma is often seen as a self portrait by Her and there are many analyses of the visual element’s encoding of Aztec symbolism. I took these theories and insights into consideration while creating this goddess vision as commissioned by chingona @sharpsweetbella

I chose a blue background to parallel Her starry mantle of heaven and also represent Lake Texcoco since the eagle, snake, and cactus from its story of the founding of ancient Mexico there are present. 💙🌵 

Tonantzin (a Nahuatl term similar to “Our Lady”) in various forms is frequently depicted with eagle feet so I thought it appropriate to have the legendary golden eagle clutch the silvery moon below Her in place of Guadalupe’s cherub 🦅 🌙 Tonantzin is often known, by many names, to wear a skirt of snakes- the celestial Aztec earth mother Coatlicue’s particular name translates to “She of Snake Skirts”. So I couldn’t help but see the snake emerge from the opening in Her folds here. Frequently in Aztec art snakes emerging from or replacing body parts represents blood so I feel a menstrual element from how the snake manifested in this vision 🐍 🩸

I've been off my feet for almost a month now. Nursing my foot after surgery. Had a Haglund's Deformity and had to get rid of it to be able to walk without pain. So now here I am, trying to get back up. A little at a time, I know. It's funny to know that I have to take baby steps, literally, baby steps. Anyways, I got this. It does break me a bit sometimes, but I know I'm a chingona, and I get back up.

Hola!

“Hola” has always been a common way I introduce myself, it's what is familiar to me. Siendo bilingüe ha sido unos de los más grandes orgullos que he podido tener en mi vida. I grew up in a very small town in Colorado, where there were a lot of migrant families. I was a migrant family myself, so Spanish was never frowned upon, being that all my peers, family friends and los vecinos spoke the same language. I am well aware that my reality wasn't the same as other migrant families across the states. La gente is what made accommodating to the states so easy, and not a lot of individuals get to have that security, and I’m very agradecida. Even though I was born in the states, I still had to accommodate the states like any other migrant coming into this country. Reason being that, my parents didn’t think twice about returning to Mexico after I was born in California then moving to Colorado after five years. People around me would tell me “Leslie eres Mexicana porque tienes sangre mexicana��� or “Leslie you were born in America that makes you an American first”, but why didn’t it matter? Me encanta mi sangre mexicana, mi cultura, mi lenguaje, y mi tierra. I love the opportunities, the beautiful scenes across the states and the opportunities this state has brought to me. I am Mexican-American, a chingona Latina, and a powerful independent woman. I can't be asked to choose between my two identities.  Through my journey of sharing and writing my thoughts I would like to share a little about my history and hopefully throughout will continue to do so. Poner mi voz y vocalizar mis ideas y opiniones nunca fue una opción para mi. Now in my Kobe year (24 yrs) I regret keeping my voice caged up for so long. Speaking from experience and sharing my thoughts, and hopefully with my wonderful gente out there, I could relate and connect with a simple latina like me and hear from everyone else's experience in being a first generation Latina/Latinx/Mexican-American/ etc.. in america.
