Abuelas, Marie and Dr. Rosemary, speak about our new series, Pláticas de la Vida. Pláticas de la Vida places compassion as the centerpiece for talks about joy and strength as well as our generational histories of pain and sorrow. The mass murder of innocent children and their teachers in Uvalde, Texas urgently reminds us of the need to sit down, with our loved ones, at our kithen tables to speak frankly about our sorrows, our grief, our traumas. The esteemed poet, Naomi Shihab Nye, says “Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.”
