Mar 12 Life During COVID-19: Day 48

March 12, 2020: Mass shootings at concerts, schools, churches and stores weren’t enough to shut down those establishments. It took a virus to bring countries to their knees!

By now, in California alone, there have been 4 deaths and 252 people have tested positive for coronavirus according to CalMatters.org.

When I first found out I was pregnant I kept telling myself that me and my baby were going to be okay. In his short two years of life I’ve had to repeat that saying during mass shootings and now a pandemic.

Prior to today I wasn’t paying as close attention to the coronavirus pandemic as I should have been. Little did I know how drastic our lives would change in the weeks to come. Feel free to follow my daily accounts in this portion of my blog.

We are a beautiful, misunderstood, and underestimated people capable of more than we realize. Starting with my own family, I want to heal the brokenness we’ve experienced over the generations so we can continue to rise and embrace what is ours. Colonized by Spain, the United States of America and Japan; who were we before others told us who to be? My curiosity and hunger to learn more about my family’s ancestry has been reignited.
