Whas really good, Migente? A lot has changed since I first started this page like 5 years ago. A lot were good and a lot were bad, but all in all change is the only constant thing in the world, something will always happen. I graduated from college with my b.a. and I actually did it in record time considering that I changed my major when I was almost a senior. Someone tried to keep from doing it, but I wouldnt allow them to have control, and I persevered with the grace of God. I feel that I am very blessed at that stage in my life, I have been blessed with more comfort in God, a great job, great opportunities coming my way, great immediate family and some extended, I will admit some of dem negros and latins get on my nerves but hey they my fam anyways lol, I have also been blessed with awesome friends, I literally have been blessed with some of greatest girl friends around, and of course I got my health. its all good you know. But my mind set aint changed, if anything I feel that it has gotten stronger. And while more pics have been added and the background may have changed, I still feel the same way I did almost 6 years ago when I started my page. So with that said, I will leave up the same opening that I had used 6 years and some change ago.. take that as you will....As if I really have to say this...Latins are beautiful and they have helped build and shape amerikkka from the migrant workers to those who picked the sugar cane in Hawaii.... Latins have the power and the voice to change the ways of this country, all we have to do is band together... and there ain`t no stoppin us... We have dreams and we are destined to achieve them. Take advantage of all that we have, and let`s strive to make it better for the future of our people. We shouldn`t let anything hold us back.. I know that I`m not. This represents my heart and soul
At times I think about all the ignorance that surrounds me.... How we can divide ourselves cuz of something as stupid as skintone. Unlike most dominicans, haitians, I`m second generation, my grandparents came here when they were really young, during the time of Jim Crow. My grandmother and grandfather have suffered the same racism and prejudice that American blacks have suffered for some 200 odd years... not being able to sit at the same table as whites, having to step into the street when a white person happened to share the same walkway as them. For many years they werent allowed to vote, and my haitian, dominican half of the family, walked with Martin Luther King Jr. In fact one of my family members died for tryin to do the same thing that MLKJR was doing in Birmingham, in Texas, where my family had settled for awhile before making their way to California. I have my pride in being what I am, as you can see from my flags, and also in being black. My family has a rich history, but I will fight for the plight of the minority no matter who or what they are, because it will ultimately affect me. I know in New York and in other places, the assimilation there is greater, but here in Cali, theres still a divide, we are all children of the earth, and under the iron fist. We need to stand up and fight, put all the skin color aside. My family and others have fought for me to be able to have the opportunities that I have, and I will never forget that. So vote, go to school, take advantage of what our ancestors have given us I had to say something about this... Ok. I logged onto migente one day and I saw on the home page dangerously in love, I had to read it and I identified completely with the women that were interviewed. I too, got out of an abusive relationship recently. I was abused in all different ways, verbal, emotional, and physically, I still have the scars to prove it and I stayed for three years. I felt stucc like these women did but I found the strength to get out. Not that many women have that much lucc. I had a family who supported me through the restraining order that I had to get and the phone calls from his family trying to get me to drop the charges. I think about all the times, where his mom and dad had seen him beat me and call me out my name and how they did nothing, and realized that I didnt want to be in that situation anymore. I had so many supportive ppl who had my bacc, and those that loved me regardless, who sat in the courtroom with me, and for that I am grateful.. And to women who are in an abusive relationship, sweetheart, angel, honey, get out, and get out now, you can move on, you can be strong, God is there for you. This is coming from a survivor myself. And honestly, if any of you guys need someone to talk to about this, yo don`t hesitate to hit me up with a note or an email.. I`m here to listen. I don`t want to see another woman in the same situation that I was in. God bless you all. And to the nigga who did this, Cyple 51, I`m stronger without you.... Shouts Ghostrida stay up u my dogg for life Naikeluck, swoosh, love ya, go do what you gotta do, I will always be your friend.

Victor, love u, Liz, love u, Laura, love u, Christine, Lillie, love yas, Kristi, ahahahahahahah yea right... The most beautiful and profound verse of all time is John 3:16, it shows how much God loves us. So if any of you doubt because things may not be going your way. Look at that verse, and it will bring you comfort. I know that it does for me. Here is a poem. Oh I wish I wish I wish I was a fish -Homer Simpson This January is the 203rd year anniversary of Haiti`s independence and the 163rd year anniversary of the Dominican Republic. We should all take time and reflect and look at these great nations. The first black nation to gain independence in the western hemisphere. The land that Columbus had stepped on. So much rich and beautiful history. Bendigaciones.
