This episode was born out of exhaustion, anger, and love. My name has now been added to Not Just Chisme, placed alongside stories that reveal what the Latin dance community doesn’t want to face. I speak as a survivor and as a mother, as someone who has carried silence long enough.

Advocacy, for me, is no longer an idea :it is a practice. It lives in the choices we make every day, in the voices we choose to believe, and in the truths we refuse to bury. There is so much to do, and as César Vallejo (Peruvian Poet) reminds us, we cannot do it alone.
