-islas de venida, aguas que no andan y la musica de manos heladas, Yanett Ramirez
extraño lugar, carretera escapista
como venas que corren, una mirada deprisa.
ventana de vidrio, lo tocas a gritos
esquina que pide, tu firma al olvido.
nos vamos, te libras por una salida
llamada “queridos aullidos que nacieron contigo”
seremos unid@s por sangre caída
estos dias que nacen me arrastran, me quitan.
más y más ciega, me asombro con una vista.

Now hurry up and die.” - Kara Walker
puritas “¿dónde está mi mente?”
a solas olas limpian adentro, ¿sientes?
huuuuuuuuye esta vista corta, una pregunta
ballena nada a contínuo paso
perfora mil almas y otra vez no se arrepiente.

IMA NEED ULTRA SUPPORT TONIGHT FROM ALL FRIENDS AND FAM ( & CHOSEN FAM)!!!
So tonight is the The Center Gala (celebrating the Center’s 30 years of existence) where our cuts from The Legacy Project will be uploaded for viewing online. Out of the 5 students from the project (i’m one of them) people (YOUUUU!!! hehehe) can vote (if you wish) for my cut.
[Legacy Project was created by The LGBT NYC Community Center and OUT@NBC Universal to commemorate and record history of the LGBT community and every year (we’re the pilot year of this program!!) 5 students from the NYC area colleges are selected to produce a short documentary.]
This year, the theme assigned to me was The Center User and the Next 30 Years, featuring none other than the great Victor Pajarito Xochmitl. LGBT activist, linguaphile and Dreamer. An amazing example of how the Center has helped him and shaped his work in the immigrant and queer community. It is a true honor to know him and share his story with you all.
Please I need your support. Out of the 5 students, whoever wins will “produce an expanded spotlight video with top talent from NBCUniversal.”
So what you can do is check out our projects and vote for the best YOU prefer. Of course, if you happen….just HAPPEN to prefer mine. heheh that’d be SUPER COOL IF YOU VOTED FOR ME!!!
please scroll all the way to the bottom for my video.
voting ends 12 NOON (on april 19, 2013) (Eastern Time)
Muchisisisisisisisimas Gracias from the depths of my heart!
you can view the direct video of Victor here.
que bueno que todavia estas vivo
porque en mis sueños a veces te persigo,
ojos cierro y joven me siento.
como antes por pastos desechos,
traz los pantanos más secos, caminamos pero
tu voz cuando viaja, ni una flor brota, ni un aroma siento.
a menos una pincelada vemos
para trepar altas pachas
que sin su base especial no podemos.
lento y lento con gafas probamos eso;
una esfera inmensa la llamo ‘vida’, y algunos ‘encuentro’,
imaginaste una calle rumbo a
puros llantos yo recuerdo.
soy la que viene y lleva corriendo
tu juventud en mis manos siempre al cielo
a la máxima me voy y no me ves, que bueno.
se derrumba la caminata como gritos nuestros
por dulces aguas este pechito seguirá siendo,
¿salvar a quien? ése sol que nace cada día yo cosecho.
cierro mis ojos y no te encuentro,
una anciana melodía, la que ve todo y te ayuda, te deseo.
-una caricia que arranca pétalos, puras lunas lo que veo, frases que manejaste como hielo, Yanett Ramirez

This was my jam back in the early 00’s!
Solo hay una!!! *does the little step*
The Hand That Feeds, documentary by Rachel Lears and Robin Blotnick. I was very fortunate to be a part of this project as Assistant Editor and meet a few of the workers in this struggle. A very special story where a group of cafe workers, mostly immigrants decide to take back their power. Remember that we still gotta keep fighting for better worker conditions and unjust treatment. Because it’s the immigrants of NYC that run this city!
Pueden ver la version en español aqui.
In May 2012, the workers at a bagel cafe on New York’s Upper East Side vote to create their own union. It’s the first time in US history that a small group of low wage immigrants has unionized independently, and they’ve done it in just months on a shoestring budget. But before their demands are met, they must overcome a shocking betrayal and a six-week lockout. Lawyers will battle in court, radical activists will take over the restaurant, and a picket line will divide the neighborhood. How far are the workers willing to go to transform their workplace?
Much love,
Yanett
