    "Half this, quarter that. My body is not an equation. Mathematics are for colonizers."
    On point word choice. This is a story you don't usually here, of the Afro-Mexican struggle. Thank you for sharing, Ariana.

    Beautiful from start to finish. No one should ever be made to feel inferior or as if they don't belong. We are all one people. Too bad there are some who haven't figured this out yet.

    That moment when, you're actually Puerto Rican and you thought she was maybe puertorrican and then you just stay there staring at the screen for a second. Amazing poem btw💕

    I was literally just having a conversation with my wife about this exact topic yesterday. Excellent poem.

      I learned a little about Afro-Mexicans. I should have known about them but I never learned about them in school. After hearing this I start to learn about whole new culture

    I love poetry and all, but why is it always about complaining about shit that really doesn't matter? I mean sure sometimes it's about real life shit like rape or trauma or happiness, but who honestly gives a fuck if people don't think your Mexican just because of your complexion. Just my opinion, don't get upset. but nice poem.
