What is a Survivor? Que es un Sobreviviente

11 Jun 2010

Amiga de VivirLatino, Noemi de Hermana, Resist wanted me to extend this question to the VivirLatino audience:

What does being a survivor mean to you? Leave a comment with what being a survivor is to you, your definition of survival and I’ll send you a printed copy of the Voces Zine and a 1″ survivor pin. Replies will be printed in the next issue of Voces. Anonymous answers are fine. Email me your address to get the goods: noemi.mtz at gmail.

Given the recent losses of life on the Mexico frontera with the U.S., the students on hunger strike in front of the offices of senators, it seems like such a timely question. I have my own answer that I will share over at Hermana, Resist and I ask that you share yours as well.

Last month I reviewed the Finding Gloria : Finding Nos/otras zine with great pleasure. Now here’s your chance to get in on the action.

From Hermana, Resist:

We are looking for submissions that speak to how Audre Lorde, June Jordan and Gloria Anzaldua-our writers foremothers speak to us, influenced us and continue to guide us. I am stepping off the work that Alexis Pauline Gumbs has done at Letters to Audre and other projects, check out In your Hands, which is a phenomenal premise, listening for guidance from our foremothers.

Send submissions to noemi.mtz@gmail.com. Deadline-lets say August 1st, 2010, for now. Send a bio (will be included in zine if selected), your mailing address (will not be included) and any other stuff you want to plug. Nonfiction, essays, poetry submissions are welcome as well as fotos and artwork- some kick ass artwork for the cover would be awesome. Keep in mind that we bring in black and white. And we are a zine.

I’m really honored that Guanabee named yours truly one of their favorite Latinas on the web.

Some deal explicitly with Latino issues, some don’t. Some are funny, some are creative, some are activists, all are uniquely amazing, inspiring women who, we think, are some of the best at what they do.

I am especially honored by some of my company on the list, including dear mami amiga, Noemi Martinez of Hermana Resist. As a single mami media maker, I appreciate what Noemi does and understand the struggle it is to express yourself in a given medium with no source of funding and with kids yelling, learning, laughing and getting sick as your background soundtrack. Which is why I am asking you to help my mami hermana.
