SUMMARY:Aquí Estamos Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit\, Aquí Estamos Y No Nos Vamos\, highlights the resistance\, solidarity\, anger\, hope\, and healing women of color are experiencing in response to the abusive and oppressive rhetoric that is/was disseminated during Trump’s campaign and carried on into his presidency.

SUMMARY:"Las Nalgas de JLo" by Bárbara Renaud González National Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the National Book Launch of Las Nalgas de JLo/Jlo’s Booty: The Best & Most Notorious Calumnas & other Writings by the First Chicana Columnist in Texas (1995-2005) by Bárbara Renaud González. \nFriday April 28th 6 PM- 10 PM @ Esperanza Peace and Justice Center\, 922 San Pedro Ave. SA\,TX \nFree Admission| Reading | Music | Food/Drinks | Book Signing \nAbout the book \nBlurring the borders between literature\, journalism\, essay\, history\, memoir and short story\, Las Nalgas de JLo is a non-fiction collection of columns\, articles\, reviews\, and poems\, most written by Renaud González between 1995-2005 when she was an independent columnist for the San Antonio Express-News. Divided into eight chapters with such provocative headings as “They Say I’m No Lady\,” “No Te Dejes/My Line in the Sand\,” “Pray For Us Women\,” “Forget the War\, So We Can Remember It\,” and “Las Nalgas de JLo/JLo’s Booty\,” each chapter begins with a previously unpublished poem. While most of the 61 columns and articles included in this book were published in the San Antonio Express-News\, many were published in other national newspapers and magazines\, and some were unpublished due to their content. A “Disclaimer” as an introduction\, and an “A-diosa-tion” and Afterword as a Despedida are also included in this collection. \nAbout the Author \nRenaud González is an important and dynamic Chicana/Latina voice tackling such hot-button subjects as racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, immigration\, sexual abuse\, drugs\, the environment\, war\, politics\, love and more. Her powerful and authentic writing style\, humor\, and biting political satire and sarcasm make for perfect commentary on the cultural and social justice issues of our times. “Letting someone like me talk means that you will have to reconfigure the mundo we live in\,” writes Renaud González. “In the name of Emma [Tenayuca] and a thousand others who have vanished from history\, I deserve to tell my story. And you deserve to hear it.”\nBárbara Renaud González is a Tejana born in South Texas\, who grew up in the Texas Panhandle. She graduated with a B.A. in Social Work from the University of Texas Río Grande Valley and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
