2016:  Reyes, Rights y Risas

Por Bohemian Babushka

What’s your wish and dream for 2016? It’s the comienzo of a new year, and the future looks bright, if we choose it to be.  When Babushka thinks of future, she has to think of The Grands. Mis nietos, all our children, are our collective legacy.  Their health, mental and physical, their education and their happiness to pursue whatever their dreams are, is the bright future BB chooses to see.  Hopefully organizations like the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and Hispanic CREO will continue to grow and represent our children, and their right to quality education. Organizations like the National Council of La Raza, LULAC, and Hispanic Heritage Foundation that deal with civil rights and prepares them for leadership, also may they coger fuerza. And those amongst us whose voices have been shushed and hidden for years, Unity Coalition y el National Latino Behavioral Health Association ,may their story be heard with compassion and corazon. Y speaking of corazon, the heart of our beings, the Arts,National Association of Latino Arts and Culture as well as the National Hispanic Foundation of the Arts representando nos alli.  With this,  BB shows examples of intellect, soul, passion, pero falta the body, OUR bodies to join, interact, or even start a group, lo que sea, but accion. AHORA. ¡As we say en Buen Cubano- Pa’ Tra Ni Pa’ Impulso!

What will be your impulso for 2016?  How bright is your dream of the future?  Don’t forget what Babushka always says.

“If someone doesn’t see YOUR Brilliance, you look at them, Smile, and say- JU SO FONII!!”

Shine on and Shine Bright Beautifuls, and may 2016 be BUENISIMO Pa’ Todos!

In this black and white photo, a pregnant person with long hair sits gracefully on a bed. Gently touching their belly, possibly pondering gestational diabetes, they wear minimal clothing and a watch. One arm rests over their chest in the softly lit room.
