What makes a fronterizx?

6/7/2017

Ni de aqui. Ni de alla. Or is it de aqui Y de alla. Both?

Fierce Fronteriza is celebrating six months! On a cold, snowy day in Denver while attending the American Historical Association conference, I decided to take a leap and finally begin blogging. It has been a wonderful experience. I love it-- I have 15 draft blog posts waiting to be finalized right now. From historic buildings to Braceros, from queer history to Pachuco history. From the past to the present. It's all a part of being a Fierce Fronteriza.

In order to celebrate, I want to know from YOU, "What makes us fronterizas and fronterizos?" Is it culture, language, geography, accident of birth, or what? Is there a difference between being a fronterizA or a fronterizO or a fronterizX?

Comment below and I'll put together a blog based on your ideas.

I can't wait to hear what you think.

When a person reaches the point of unconditional love and respect for humanity, community and all life, it then becomes possible to achieve the status of Fierce Fronteriz@. All other senses are called upon to build a strong foundation based on cultural beliefs, heritage and genetics. As the gaps become narrowed which separate classes and socioeconomic groups, the confidence levels and success from movimientos become the encouraging voice to strive for more and believe in better for future generations. It was never my intention to become as active as I am in community projects and movements. My wife Rosemary has become an influential force in my life. She has a certain way of motivating me at a moments notice to jump out in the middle of traffic to help an elderly person across the street, or putting a hault to a hateful convoy spewing their rhetoric across the border towns across four state lines. If called upon to act for your community, whether it is LGBT, Homeless, Farm worker or acts of civil disobedience, and you respond with others activating the rest of your peers. You can call yourself a Fierce Fronteriz@.

I promised Great Odunga to always post his testimony and I really want to say "Thank You" to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and [email protected] You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
