By: Gabriela Yareliz One woman was 13 when the abuse began. Some were 8 or 9. Horrible to let that sink in. Dolores Huerta and other women have come forward to detail the abuse they suffered at the hands of Cesar Chavez, the NYT is reporting in an explosive report. There are archives, recordings andContinue reading ““Cesar Chavez is just a man.””

Ask
“The biggest unlock of my 20s: Ask for things. The raise. The introduction. The favor. Most people never ask because they fear rejection. But your silence guarantees it. If you’ve done the work, ask for the crazy thing. The world rewards those who ask. Closed mouths don’t get fed.” Sahil Bloom Don’t forget to ask!

Friction creates stability. When your life is built around comfort, fast dopamine, instant delivery, and constant distraction, your nervous system forgets how to handle resistance. So the smallestContinue reading “Hard”
Are We Healing From Casual?

Sarah Dessen is Back
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw a guy with the tip of his hair flicked up with hair gel. It was such a 2003 moment. Speaking of 2003– I was thinking about the two writers who had many of us (me specifically) in a chokehold during the early 2000s. One was Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, writer ofContinue reading “Sarah Dessen is Back”
