Pueblo Mapuche con Palestina 🇵🇸

[pedropascalito]

One example of why representation in media matters, even to an old person like me.

My maternal grandmother was Mapuche, an indigenous South American/Chilean group. I am only 25% indigenous but I definitely inherited her hair; it's course and heavy and I often pin it up because of the weight, and I love wearing it in braids to keep it in check, but I never did it during work hours because I thought it would be seen as unprofessional.

I saw so many pictures of beautiful Lily Gladstone and indigenous men with their hair in braids on the red carpet, and it gave me the push to wear my hair in braids even at work, with the hope it can become acceptable at work too and not just for little kids.

Today, I wore braids to work! Thank you to those who lead the way and shine the light on culture where the world at large can see it.

My grandmother died when my mom was 10 years old so I never got the chance to meet her, but I feel close to her when I embrace her culture and influence. I wish I could have known her.

Cuando la palabra ha sido traicionada Es tiempo de callar y escuchar en silencio Sólo obedezco a la verdad que me regalan El río, el viento, y todos mis ancestros Cuando el atropello marca mi destino Asumo mi camino ya que no queda otro modo Y con el compromiso de este paso decidido Lo que no voy a decir ya lo dice todo
