This is a blog about being mom, a wife, a student, activist, feminist, Latina in the south trying to balance it all.
Here is the idea behind Mommies are People, Too. Aside from being a mom I am an activist. I volunteer for different organizations around the Atlanta area. These organization deal with either Immigration issues Latino issues or Women’s issues, these are all very important to me. It’s what I believe to be my life’s work or my calling.
I feel as a mother I need to give this to Benjamin. I want him to know that mommy was the change she wanted to see in the world. If I do nothing else for my son I want to give that sense of community and a sense of responsibility for others with less. I want him to see problem and feel a sense of duty and honor in wanting to repair it. Really, I want him to grow up and be proud that his mother did — that she didn’t stand on the sidelines.
