Border Crossing

I had a piece of creative nonfiction published recently in the Women's and Gender Studies Program newsletter at DePaul. I thought I'd post up a link here in case you wanted to give it a read. (Mine is the last article on the page, if you don't want to read through the whole newsletter. The title they've given it is "Crossing Borders.") My piece is a reflection on some time I spent on the El Paso/Juarez (US/Mexico) border probably eight years or so ago. I was working with a wonderful organization called Annunciation House trying to better understand the connections between my own life in the United States and the lives of those living and working in Mexico, particularly those on the border. Annunciation House has a really powerful slide show that offers some images and information for added context, if you're interested.
Peace.
