Hija de Chifa y Chicha [Daughter of Chinese Food and Purple Corn Drink]
My lineage is of Chinese Cantonese and Peruvian ancestry, residing on Huchuin, unceded Chochenyo Ohlone land. I am continuously learning about the indigenous lands my ancestors have resided on and acknowledge the imperialist powers and systems of exploitation that have erased this knowledge from my lineage.
