Can someone please tell me what ‘wapa’ means in Spanish?
lol. I’m guessing you’re hearing ‘guapa’ (if you’re reading it, it’s often written as wapa in texts or chats), which means good-looking or beautiful.

The Muxes of Oaxaca
In Juchitán de Zaragoza, gender roles are not as they are in most of Mexico. A third gender, muxes, men who dress and behave as women, are not only accepted, they play a central role in this Indigenous community’s life and culture.

La Cosecha - The Story of the Children Who Feed America
The film follows these children as they follow the crops they harvest, their lives governed by climate, demand, trade, and the greater economy. The verite footage of the children and their year of toil is augmented by the children having the chance to speak for themselves about their lives. Read more here.
Read a review of La Cosecha here. A big saludo to Eva Longoria for backing this documentary film as an Executive Producer. For more information, visit Shine Global.

You Bring Out The Mexican In Me ›
by Sandra Cisneros
You bring out the Mexican in me.
The hunkered thick dark spiral.
The core of a heart howl.
The bitter bile.
The tequila lágrimas on Saturday all
through next weekend Sunday.
You are the one I’d let go the other loves for,
surrender my one-woman house.
Allow you…
