Brown girl dreaming

Too gringa para Nicaragua

Not down enough for the Excelsior

Where does she belong?

Little brown girl

Running circles in the Safeway parking lot

On 30th and Mission

Queen of the pigeons

Chase them down, chase them down

Maybe she belongs with them

To me, reproductive justice means that communities, like East Oakland, should be able to thrive when there is accessibility to nourishing food, affordable housing, clean water, and the ability to live freely from state violence.
