There are many misconceptions about what Trauma and traumatic experiences involve 😟 and because of this we talk about it very lightly and also misunderstand people who go through it.
•
Any situation can become traumatic for the person who goes through it!⚠️ and the impact of trauma in people’s lives can be devastating.
•
Acknowledging that we might not know 🤔 what the other person is going through can be the first sincere, empathic and caring step to take when noticing that someone is struggling😢
•
Your experience doesn’t need to match the other person’s experience for you to be understanding 🧐 and caring.
•
Be compassionate, humble and supportive 🥰 to others. Sometimes we can even save lives that way.

We have pathologized emotions so much that we don’t talk about them or seek support when we probably should 😞
•
Sadness is a natural emotional experience and it often has a clear trigger.🧐
•
However, depression is a very different thing. Sadness is diferente from depression in terms of intensity, duration, and how it affects a persons’ life🤯
•
Depression doesn’t always have a clear trigger and it usually stays with the person for much longer than sadness😥
•
Depression must be taken seriously! ⚠️ You can read the full article in my blog:

I am committed as an individual, and Latin woman, 🙋🏻‍♀️to challenge, 👊🏽 call out and speak up🗣every time I see any sign of discrimination 🚫against anyone due to race, gender, physical ability or sexual orientation, including against myself.
•
I see myself as an ally and as an ally I want to support 🤲🏽and work on creating awareness, 👀especially in Latin cultures about issues of social injustice😓. I invite you to become an ally with me and speak up!!👊🏽

Español:
Como individuo y como mujer latina 🙋🏻‍♀️me siento con el compromiso de cuestionar, señalar, y alzar mi voz 🗣cada vez que veo algo relacionado con discriminación y opresión 🚫debido a la raza, genero, orientación sexual o habilidad física de otra persona o en contra de mi misma.
•
Quiero apoyar 🤲🏽y crear consciencia👀 acerca de este tema, especialmente Latinoamérica. Los invito a convertirse en aliados conmigo, y alzar la voz en estos momentos tan turbulentos🌪en los que vivimos!

5 Examples of white privilege:
•
👑 The fact that race, gender, sexual orientation and disability are not things that you have to think about daily.
👑 Assume that your failures will not be attributed to your race, or your gender
👑Escaping violent stereotypes associated with your race
👑Generally, having a positive relationship with the police
👑Being pretty sure that your neighbours will be neutral or pleasant to you
•
White privilege doesn’t mean that white oriole don’t have issues or are not discriminated against. It means that white people are not discriminated against because of their race🧐
••
Español:
5 ejemplos del privilegio blanco:
•
👑El hecho de que en tu día a día no tienes ni que pensar en tu raza, género, orientación sexual, y habilidades físicas
👑El que puedas asumir que tus fracasos nunca tienen que ver con tu género o raza
👑Nunca ser objeto de estereotipos violentos asociados con tu raza (Ejemplo: ser confundido con un criminal)
👑Tener una relación positiva con la policía, en líneas generales
👑Estar seguro de que tus vecinos o la gente a tu alrededor va a ser neutral o amable contigo
•
Este nos compete como latinos!⚠️ El privilegio blanco no significa que los blancos nos tenemos dificultades o somos discriminados, significa que tú raza no es la razón por la cual te discriminen o agredan🧐
•
Los blancos latinos en el extranjero quizás hemos experimentado por primera vez esta discrimination o quizás no. Pero es algo que pensar y resistir! 😡

How many times have you experienced some of these situations⚠️ and felt like something was off, and didn’t feel right but you couldn’t put your finger on it?😨
•
Racisms is engrained in our systems🚫 and there is a really good chance that as a person of color or Latino you have experienced similar things🤐 or that you have acted on this behaviours against people of color or Latino🤦🏻‍♀️ without realizing it 🧐
•
Let’s open our 👀 and stop and resist 🛑 this!!
•
•
Cuantas veces te ha pasado que has experimentado situaciones cómo estás ⚠️ y te sentiste como incomodo, como que algo no se sintió bien pero que no pudiste identificar por qué?😨
•
El racismo vive en nuestras culturas y sistema🚫 y hay un buen chance que en algún momento de tu vida atravesaste situaciones de esta clase 🤐 o que sin darte cuenta🧐 tu mism@ has actuado así con personas de color o latinas, inclusive tú mismo siendo latino o de color🤦🏻‍♀️
•
Tenemos que abrir los 👀!! Paremos esto 🛑y resistámoslo
