Author: La Academica

I am a struggling Xicana - a mother, educator, activist immersed in battles against oppressive systems. I especially focus on the educational system and how it perpetuates a racial hierarchy in our society. I started this blog because I needed to create a safe space for my ideas and for my writing. As people of color we need safe spaces and places where we feel completely free to express ourselves. Thank you for reading my reflections, outbursts, and locuras (craziness).
