Tenacious Angel

You can call me
Native, Mestiza, Xicanahip-hop feminist.
You can call meheart-in-the-hood suburban refugee yet ghetto fabulous.
You can call me Macha Femme somewhere between raw gansta and kind apprentice.

You can call me artist slash writer slash freedom fighter.
You can call me maestra, consejera bruja, amante.
You can call me daughter of Oshun and Coyolxauhqui.
You can call me unbreakable, tenacious Angel.
