Brenda Guadalupe Molina¡Hola! This is Brenda, born and raised in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca. I've always wonder who I would be if I spoke Zapotec (the indigenous language from my region) so there lays my intrigue about language, identity and doodling in my diary. We can explore the possibilities of a YOU in Spanish and, while doing so, discuss about Critical Ethnic Studies, Women, Gender and Sexuality, Psycology, nature, poetry, languages or just the walks I go on twice a day with my dog, Spikey. How does that sound?
