I am everyday people (RIP Sly Stone) and I have had the great fortune to meet extraordinary people. 🍀
This is Doña Queta, a powerful Curandera from Oaxaca, Mexico.
She has overcome a lifetime of adversity to become an inspiration for me and many others. 🙏
She has delivered thousands of babies as a traditional midwife, never losing a single mother to the trials of child birth.
She is a master of herbalism, temezcal, limpias and many other methods of healing.
We do not speak the same verbal language, but we connect through corazon ❤️🔥
I was in her country for 3 weeks and was treated with grace, kindness, compassion, respect and love each and every moment of everyday. 🇲🇽
People went well out of their way to work to understand what I was attempting to communicate in my non-existent español. 🫂
You better believe I will be at the Florida Capitol Building tomorrow to stand-up for the people in this country who speak Spanish as they pick our produce, build our houses, cook our food and make our country better.
If Mexico will embrace a gr**go like me with more grace than I deserve, I will certainly embrace Mexicans, El Salvadoreans, Venezuelans, blacks, browns, reds, yellows, greens, purples and rainbows with all the respect I have. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏼✊️🏳️🌈
This country is a melting pot, and I'm voting for the molé con tortillas! 🍲
And if you've never actually listened to the words of "Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone, now is a perfect time to put on the funk 🤘🤟
