A Prayer for Digna Ochoa: Mexican Human Rights Attorney
"For me, anger is energy, it's a force. You channel energy positively or negatively. Being sensitive to situations of injustice and the necessity of confronting difficult situations like those we see every day, we have to get angry to provoke energy and react. If an act of injustice doesn't provoke anger in me, it could be seen as indifference, passivity. It's injustice that motivates us to do something, to take risks, knowing that if we don't, things will remain the same." D.O.

La Memoria
"Memory: the retention of information over time for the purposes of influencing future action."
This piece specifically honors my maternal grandmother, a woman who endured the loss of her culture and language not once but twice.
The piece also explores my own journey to our family's cultural identities, how we celebrate, remember, and honor loved ones, how we play with death as entertainment in popular culture, and how we also wrestle with the certainty of our own mortality. S.V.
