for inspiration

for so many mujeres,
it seems we have to decide~
CHOOSE between ourselves and our
CHILDREN
our desire to create ART and
our desire to create LIFE.
but life is art and art is life
we shouldn’t have to choose between
2 beautiful and important worlds.

some revolutionary women are transforming
ordinary beliefs
changing with our children
and living to create worlds that we
have envisioned
not just for our children
but for us all.

we are creators of dreams
and weavers of realities
we don fine threads made up of
passion
for ourselves,
our children,
and
the world.
