Hello, my name is ‘María Rosa’

(ella, she, her)

Human - Daughter- Partner - Mother - Teacher - Learner - Nerdmaid-for-life

I speak, dream, write, and move my body in Spanglish, Spanish, and English

A list of favorites so you get to know me:

• Flavors: newly fried tostones and dark chocolate,

• Smells: Pan (bread) newly baked, lavender, camphor

• Sounds: my daughter’s voice, the music of Juan Luis Guerra,

• Sights: sunrises and sunsets, my partner’s dimples, my mother’s eyes

• Textures: my kitties’ fur, tree trunks and roots

• Embodied experience: witnessing the ocean/the sea/el mar, reading, laughing, listening to, or reading my friends’ texts, being present.

How I learn - podcasts, listening to articles, reading books, writing papers, teaching, talking/dialoguing

What I read - a bit of everything (history, critical studies, and personal stories)

What I currently think - ideas/beliefs are dynamic and at the core of all we do and embody; interrogate those to get to know the world (and, especially, yourself)

My favorite thought - ‘variability is a feature in all humans/languaging/learning, not a bug’ ;-)

Gracias for stopping by!

xx and abrazos, MR
