'The last thing I want is to teach my kids to be colorblind. I want them to remain curious... It’s an opportunity — a doorway — to learn more about family, heritage, genetics, and even melanin.' Loved this by Jennifer De Leon. bostonglobe.com/2024/02/07/mag…

I wrote a personal essay for The Boston Globe. 'I can’t control how the world will treat my sons. But I can try to teach them both the tools I believe work best in navigating issues of skin color, race, and identity: honest conversations and direct actions.'

It’s hard to describe how FULL I feel from having visited MassBay Community College this week. A student also from Guatemala said she wants to be an author. I see myself in her, and she sees herself in me. This is what sharing stories does: makes us feel seen. It’s not a small thing. ❤️ 🇬🇹
