My little sister is 8-years younger than I am, and as a result… I too grew up with Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and Mulan.
“I am a Princess. I am brave sometimes. I am scared sometimes. Sometimes I am brave even when I am scared. I believe in loyalty and trust. I believe loyalty is built on trust. I try to be kind. I try to be genorous. I am kind even when others are not so generous. I am a Princess.
Friends,
I wrote a story for Tomorrow Magazine about Radio Ambulante, a Spanish-language radio program showcasing human stories from Latin America and the United States.
Generally I don’t tell people what they should do… but, you really should order one of these.

The LA Times describes the scene:
Bank robbery suspects Wednesday led authorities on a bizarre pursuit from Santa Clarita to South Los Angeles, where they began throwing money out the car, drawing crowds eager to scoop up the cash and culminating in a mob scene when the chase ended.
Ramiro Gomez’s L.A. street art gives us something to think about
By EBONY MONTENEGRO
It’s Banksy’s public “guerilla” art with a touch of Diego Rivera’s social realism on the streets of Beverly Hills. With that in mind you can begin to understand artist Ramiro Gomez’s vision.
In a recent interview with Jorge Rivas of Colorlines.com, the Los Angeles native spoke about his work.Gomez creates cardboard cut-out paintings of labor workers and peppers them on the lawns and homes throughout affluent Beverly Hills. As a nanny, artist Gomez wants more than anything to spur conversation around “illegal immigrants,” and draw attention to the headlines about the Arizona and Alabama legislatures’ immigration rulings.
To see more from Gomez, check out his blog.
For years—from the time I was a kid with a 35mm point-and-shoot—my grandmother was the only one I could consistently persuade to get in front of my camera. And in the era in my life in which I thought Alexander McQueen was the most amazing man to ever to walk on earth and that I would be the next David Lachapelle, my abuelita would let me dress her up too.
But as her memory is slowly taken over with new anxious ideas it gets harder to get her in front of a camera to sit still. Until today. With the help of Libertad Lamarque.
20 years later, children of the L.A. Riots remember the chaos
By JORGE RIVAS
Throughout the past month I’ve seen hundreds of news stories on the L.A. Riots and almost every single one of them was published by someone who experienced the events of 1992 as an adult. But we haven’t heard anything from the perspective of children who lived through the civil unrest and remember the chaos.I was 9 years old and living just a mile away from the intersection of Normadie and Florence where Reginald Denny was pulled out of a trailer and brutally beaten. I was only a child, but to this day have vivid memories of the events that took place and know that there were thousands like me who had stories to share.
Throughout the past month I’ve been meeting with men and women my age — the children that experienced the L.A. Riots — and recording their stories. Above is one video that is part of the series I made for Colorlines.com. Edson was ten in 1992. He remembers his cousins and siblings clinging on to the men in the family as they left to protect their store from looting.

Most of the images I’ve shared so far mostly included beautiful blue skies with bright white clouds but the first three days of the ride actually included a lot of cold temperatures, wind and rain.
