The #FamiliesBelongTogether rally took us from #GrandPark in #DTLA to the #FederalDetentionCenter in #LittleTokyo... We walked right past the #JapaneseInternement #Museum where #ExecutiveOrder9066 was blown up and pasted on the window. It hurts to think that we have #ForgottenOurHistory and have allowed it to repeat. Not just the racism and violations of human rights. That fight will never end, really. I'm talking about those of us who stayed home today because they aren't being affected by this... #YET. When they came for the #Japanese, they took the #Immigrants and their #AmericanCitizen children too. They didn't stop to ask details. They just detained them all and if you think that would Never happen here, I hate to tell you... IT ALREADY HAS. (at Los Angeles, California)

I wish I had taken pics of all the cool signs I saw, but I did capture this little gem! #DumpTrump #ImpeachTrump #TinyHands (at Los Angeles, California)

El pueblo unido no será vencido!! As the #ProudDaughter of #MexicanImmigrants I was honored to march alongside my people, but also with everyone who showed up to this protest! #Black people, #white people, #Korean people, #Filipino people, #LGBT people! Everyone was welcomed and everybody came! It was #AllLove (at Los Angeles, California)

Today, I marched for kids. If you know me at all, you know how much I love kids. It breaks my heart to see them separated from their families. I decided to fight for immigrant rights, human rights, basic rights that are DENIED to people in need. #familiesbelongtogether #marchforimmigrants #AbolishICE #EFFTRUMP #ChingaLaMigra #Resist (at Los Angeles, California)

My #BestFriend took me #whalewatching for the first time today!! I was so excited!! It was amazing! Thank you, @kellz124 and @sheelagharnett and @mrcatmansg for a wonderful experience!! I loved it! #Balboa Beach #wereonaboat #NewPortBeach #DavyJonesLocker #ocean #whales #dolphins #califorina (at Newport Beach Pier)

The second i came home today, i collapsed on Beary! Finals absolutely drained me this week. I handled it, but I'm so glad to have this horrible semester come to an end. My #FirstYear at #CalStateLA has come to an end and I feel... a lot of things... I accomplished a lot of what I set out to do: earned pretty good grades, got a job as a #Tutor at the #universitywritingcenter, and even earned a spot to study abroad in the UK! Still, I have to recognize there was no easy path to where I am now. There were moments I lost my way and I went all #DarkAndTwisty and if you helped me through it, please know that I'm grateful for it. This summer, I plan on working and saving money for England while also making time for self-care and what that means for me. But tonight, I'll settle for just watching the #GreysSeasonFinale with Beary! #FirstYearDONE #giantBear #TGIT #CALSTATELA #ThankGod #BreatheAgain (at Los Angeles, California)

Yesterday was a very important day for me! I attended the Bon Voyage celebration at Cal State LA and meet all the other people going to the UK soon. I even meet someone who is going back to the UK after being here for a year. Turns out he's been living down the street from me the whole time! 😂😂😭 Then we went to DTLA, hit up some bars, and now I feel so ready to go and live it up in England. It just finally hit me that this is real and I am going and even though it's not how I pictured it, ENGLAND IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!! I want to thank everyone for all your support! It really means the world to me! ❤❤😘 #Hertfordshire #surrey #CalStateLA #studyabroad #BonVoyage #Fall2018 #September #omg #unreal #whoa (at California State University, Los Angeles)
