Marlene Part 2 My dad would come to school with me for the first few weeks so I could get used to it. It was so hard...I had one classmate who was Hispanic. He and I became good friends.As the years passed, my English improved and I adjusted to the American culture.Everything had fallen into placeand I was comfortable. —Marlene Rangel
More milk, more milk makes it better
In 1986, when I was three and a half years old I wonan award for sitting cute and biting into a slice
of Kraft Cheddar Cheese. Then how my star blew up:
I was on the cover of calendars, in the Sunday section,stomping the runway, turning down small parts
in movies. At seven, I promised my mom I would never
be chubby again. No way. I swirled a dress in the dressing room and was the daughter my brothers hated.
Nothing could stop me, not even America with its rich
marshmallow cereals. But the milk, oh God the grade A,vitamin D milk. No one knew what it was doing to me.
Little Miss Piggy drinking 8 oz. by the kidney-bean pool.
All my life it had been coconut juice, mango juice, and water. LittleMiss Piggy mending her polka dot suit. It had been goat's milk
and goat's milk. Little Miss Piggy clasping her knees to her chest
and winning the cannonball contest. I was small, indomitable,and could hide behind the couch with a stein. It was the drink
of all the saints. It was worth all my work in the world. —Janine Joseph Marlene Part 3 In my junior year of high school, reality hit me. I found out I could not go to college because I was undocumented. I wanted to be a nurse my dream wasn’t going to be easy to achieve. —Marlene Rangel
Marlene Part 1 I was eight years old when I left my home. I remember my parents waking me to leave, but I didn’t know where we were going. We had to walk for a long time and cross a river. That’s when I realized that we were going somewhere far.
—Marlene Rangel Dancing in Buses Pretend a boom boxblasts over your shoulder. Raiseyour hands in the air.Twist them as if picking limes. Lookto the right as if crossingstreets. Look to the left,slowly as if balancing orange baskets. Bend as if pickingcotton. Do the rump. Straightenup as if dropping firewood. Rake,do the rake. Sweep,do the sweep. Do the Pupusa-Clap-finger dough clumps. Clap.Do the Horchata-Scoop—your hand's a ladle, scoop.Reach and scoop. Now,duck. They're shooting. Duckunder the seat, and don't breathe. Hands behind your head.Drop down.Look at the ground.Roll over.Face the mouth of the barrel.Do the protect-face-with-hand.Don't scream.

#UndocuJoy So today, remember that you are beautiful. You are creators, you are laughers, you are lovers, you are lights of hope and joy. Take the time you need to feel the pain. Know that even existing in the spaces you occupy is resistance. Know that, as we fight this battle for our dignity, you are souls of strength and power, but you’re allowed to feel vulnerable at times. Know that every moment of self-care you can find is still part of fighting this fight. Know that every time you paint your nails, dance in your room, eat a treat, laugh with your friends, run in the woods, or do anything that gives you joy, you are resisting a system that thinks we’re not worthy of even smiling. I believe in us. Together, we will overcome.
—Julia Montejo
Marlene Part 4 My parents have remained my motivation to keep myself in school. I now know that anything is possible. I have the opportunity to be what I want and do what I want. I have to take that opportunity and not waste it. —Marlene Rangel
#UnitedWeDream Aquí estamos. This is where we found our home away from home. This is where we belong. Mother Earth, who feeds us all, takes our roots, their roots, no matter how long, how short— she’s whispering: this is where you belong. R E S I S T! R E S I S T! Pelea con diente y madre! This is where you belong, Dreamer!
