There are a lot of days to reflect, some days we achieved a goal, accomplished a dream, a birthday, and for me today marks my rebirth day. At least, a day that I escaped death from the attacks on September 11th and can look at the extra 23 years of life I have been blessed with.

For years, I would never tell anyone I survived that day of war, because I felt that few people could truly relate to trauma, didn’t really know what PTSD was and as a survivor I didn’t want the stigma of it all.

Sometimes, we think time heals us, but we must put in work to heal ourselves. And my life journey, has been a sequence of healing evolutions.

I most certainly have embraced my journey, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically, because after an awakening you realize your life is about your soul having an earthly experience.

Feeling is healing, it does not mean one is emotionally led, but it is a surrendering of the emotional data we are given and to express it all so we does not just only reside trapped in our bodies, but moved through, as if we were swimming in an ocean.

This interview I did with Norris Frederick at the Embracing Your Journey podcast was published in parts, and part 2 was just released today. May it give you reason to dive into your own shadows, into those parts of yourself you hide from the world and even yourself.

As we learn, we embody all that serves us and humanity. Our work, is to allow our unique soul message, to be so free, so it can inspire others to do the same. May we all open our hearts, and love all the people we lost that day, and in the proceeding wars. May we realize how divine life is, and how powerful our gift of this present truly is!

Happy July! Sharing some Illa Teqsi energies of our planets, these frequencies when we work in tandem can assist our own vibration. When we are conscious that we are energy. This period is for exploring dreams, artistic pursuits, and compassion. We need more compassion for ourselves and others. Neptune in Pisces is helping us enhance intuition, creativity, and spiritual awareness. How can we be flexible and adapt to new awakenings? Saturn in Pisces helps us make time to build stability and enjoy life’s pleasures. It’s a period for setting boundaries and working on your inner growth. With Mars in Libra, discern and find your balance between nurturing relationships and focusing on personal and family matters, because it’s an ideal time for networking. So manage your energetic output in all your relationships. Cooperation and diplomacy are essential. See where Pluto in Aquarius is transforming changes in technology, social structures, and collective consciousness. Uranus in Ta**us continues to bring unexpected changes and new innovations in financial and material aspects of life. It’s a period for embracing new ideas and revolutionary thinking, so create space to learn and engage in intellectual activities. May we work on ourselves, observe where we focus and where outside intrusive energies distract us from our purpose, our work and our joy. Never stop seeking your next best you! #neverstop #july #cancerseason #cancer #illateqsi #indigenous #salishlands #apus #pachamama #nature #pnw #monday #energy #collectivewellness #brandnewheavies #loveyourlife #listen #stepstepjump

I love history and today I was hosted by Office of Arts & Culture Seattle to give a lecture at King Street Station.

Mambo 2 Hip Hop explores the vignettes of creative geniuses that resisted cultural domination and political systems that attempted to exclude Black & Brown art.

The lecture and workshop is a cultural journey for you to enjoy, filled with different music genres and dance moves. Experience the mélange of culture that brought expression and joy to those who were living in the burning Bronx and birthed a new art movement called Hip Hop.

Quintero’s immersive lecture & workshop invites participants to embody salsa rhythms and breakdancing fundamentals, bridging generations with each step.

Quintero is passionate about preserving Black & Brown history. She teaches Mambo 2 Hip Hop history and dance to dive into the rich tapestry of Afro-Indigenous-Latino artist experiences from the 1900s to 1970s.

Your voice, your heart & your resolve make all the difference.

When I decided to share my story, I wrote my book Step Step Jump, when I decided to impact the world, I focused on working with leaders, like Lisa Nichols and when I wanted to create systemic change, I decided to lobby.

I lobbied for organizations & missions I believe in only. And of course, I was delighted to serve Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network and helped them do something new for undocumented folks in Washington state who have no health insurance.

So right now, please share with your WA state network:
