My heart is hurting watching families get torn apart. No one deserves to live in fear of simply trying to survive. 💜

Missing her deeply. She has always been my inspiration, her gentleness, her empathy, & her just way of being. The kindness she carried was powerful, rooted in love for the land & all its plants. Her strength was quiet but undeniable, blooming in every act of care & connection.

They label us "diversity hires," as if our achievements were handed to us, not earned through relentless effort and perseverance. As if we didn’t stay up late studying while balancing jobs, family responsibilities, and systemic barriers.🧵

As an Indigenous, disabled, first-gen professional, I see my journey as planting seeds nurtured by the resilience of my ancestors. Every step I take is rooted in my heritage,guided by their strength. It’s not always easy, but I know the growth will honor them.

My grandma said, Rainwater sings the sweetest song to the soil, a melody of life, unfiltered & pure, Each drop a whisper of the sky's love for the earth. My mom echoed her truth, 'Let the rain fall, & plants will grow tall' As if the heavens cradled each seed, Nourishing roots w/ ancient wisdom💜

Saving seeds is more than preserving life; it's nurturing hope. Each holds potential to grow, but only when the time is right. In stillness, they rest, waiting for the perfect conditions-just like us. We all have seasons of growth & pause, & that's okay. #seedkeeper

In Purépecha culture, seeds represent history, resilience, & identity. I learned this from my grandmother & mother, who taught me the power of seeds to connect us to our ancestors. Protecting these seeds means preserving our stories for future generations. #Seedsaving

Each seed I save carries the wisdom of my ancestors. It's a reminder that food sovereignty starts with small, deliberate acts of care.
