Me duele mucho lo que está pasando. You know I’m the type of person who doesn’t stay quiet. I use my voice, and now is the time to do so. Yo soy parte Mexicana y parte de El Salvador. Mi papá vino desde joven a los Estados Unidos para obtener una mejor vida. Mi mamá llegó embarazada de mi hermano. Both of them left their countries, escaping hardship and seeking a better life. They met here in the U.S., and I was born. It hurts me to my core to see what’s happening now. It’s devastating to see families torn apart, children growing up in unfamiliar and often hostile environments, and people stripped of their dignity simply because they dared to hope for a better tomorrow. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain they’re going through. When I see these images, I picture myself as a little girl in their shoes, wondering what my life would be like if it were me. Immigrants leave behind their homes, their communities, and their loved ones, driven by dreams of safety, opportunity, and a brighter future. Both of my parents became citizens, and I am endlessly grateful for that, but I know the process today is far more challenging than it once was. As I reflect on my family’s journey, I feel both gratitude for their perseverance and deep sorrow for those who continue to endure struggles that my family was fortunate enough to overcome. It pains me to see history repeat itself. So many are still fighting for acceptance and opportunity, often with the odds stacked against them. It is our responsibility to support and advocate for those who cannot fight for themselves. Please, continue to share resources, speak out, and spread awareness. I pray for compassion in this world. We need empathy. We need humanity. I have seen enough. I remain committed to standing in solidarity with those who continue this journey, and I pray that we all find ways to help. Que Dios me los bendiga hoy y siempre. Tatiana💜
