I loved teaching tonight‘s @festivaldc class. It was all about the power of storytelling to disrupt dominant narratives and power structures. . Before teaching my students how to craft a public narrative I talked about how crucial it to not only continuously seek to know and understand ourselves but to be willing to be vulnerable and sincere about who we are in order to engage others. . We started by writing “I Am” poems. Each person‘s poem was beautiful and honest and I was so appreciative of their willingness to express themselves and share who they were with a class full of virtual strangers. . Here is mine.

‪Crimson obsession! It took FOREVER but here’s the new look.‬ . ‪I want to take one more go at deepening the roots but I’m feeling the Ariel vibes (even if I’m really more of an Ursula on the inside).‬ . ‪#Splatsquad #CrimsonObsession #TakingABreakFromPurple #DisneyVibes‬

Taking a break from my signature purple. As you can see, I bleached my roots for the first time so I’m going all out. Stay tuned... . #WishMeLuck

Every year I look for a Latinx nativity scene and every year I walk away empty-handed. There is the occasional Mexican nativity but never anything else. . Today, Matt and I were walking past a window and saw this beautiful clay set. We went inside to find a little Guatemalan tchotchke shop complete with a check cashing window in the back (God, I love us lol). It was full of resale items, random handmade gifts, and religious paraphernalia 😍 . I got to teach Carlos, the sweet little man running the place, how to use Venmo so I could pay him 💕☺️ . #christmas #latinochristmas #latinxchristmas #Latino #Latinx #nativityscene #brownbabyjesus

We found a massive panda in the metro station so of course we had to stop and take a pic 🐼🎄 . #PandaBear #Bearhug #Christmas #christmasinDC
