      You know what? In the wake of this cruel world, I am SO HAPPY I don't feel alone anymore when I voice my dissent, when I demonstrate, when I attend decolonization/political status conferences & webinars. I have witnessed this community of passionates being born out of injustices.

      I kid you not, it was a lonely time to be an environmental/political "activist" from Saipan between 2011-2015 on Guam. Few brown people were in the room about the Tumon culvert. There was a scattering of young people (key word: young) during Chamoru decolonization presentations.

      I realize now that the rise of social media, the coming-of-age of young people during the NK Nuclear Threat, among others contributed to the rise in interest. I wasn't there for all of it but I was there enough to see clearly this difference, that this is not just a "trend".

          I've been gone this last three years so & now it has grown even more thanks to great people in the field sacrificing and being vocal. The Pacific Islander scholarship that has persisted even when there was seemingly little interest. To "Be the change you want to see in the world"

          S/o to Fanachu Podcast for educating me on why so many more young people have taken interest. I had never thought the NK threat was a reason, but looking inside now I realize that it created a real fear and shift in thought as to our situation with our status & militarization.

          Finally, another thing that makes my heart swell with pride is seeing young people ginen CNMI starting to venture out with their interest in political discourse & decolonization. It is an interesting space to live in when voices on Guam are so dominant & can be intimidating..

          ..to engage with. But please engage. Please look around & see that although we've been colonized differently, it is starting to affect the health/living conditions of our people there too. We are becoming less sustainable & more dependent. We are rising in obesity & diabetes.

          This is abundance mindset. There is enough acitivism to go around if you look and get involved. Take the initiative to start your own fire within yourself. I thank Sen. Therese Terlaje for sparking my flame. Fakmåta yan kahulu. We got work to do.
