Can colors only be seen through the visual stimulation of the mind’s eye, or can it take form through the simple strokes of black ink? Because I see every word, shining with hues of vision, purpose, and intention. Every line, saturated with persistence and passion. These students bring life to my eyes and showcase the depths of their cultural wealth for my soul to admire in awe.
I’m thrown back to the vibrancy of their stories from the weight of their pens. Our shared bond for tacos at La Costa, their morning offerings of conchas from Pink Elephant, while walking into the classroom with a smile on their face. And how could I forget their love for low-riders and excited talks of whatever new event is happening at SAP Center?
