No Más Odio, Si Más Amor / No More Hate, More Love Please

Posted on May 31, 2020June 1, 2020

Share

We are living in extremely difficult times and it breaks my heart to sit down to write this publication since I think that there are other matters that need immediate attention, but unfortunately I am obliged to give my statements since my integrity and character as a person were defamed. This is an extremely sensitive topic and I want to be wise in the way I express myself.

Estamos viviendo en unos tiempos sumamente difíciles y me rompe el corazón sentarme a escribir esta publicación ya que pienso que hay otros asuntos que necesitan atención inmediata, pero lamentablemente me veo en la obligación de dar mis declaraciones ya que mi integridad y carácter como persona fueron difamados. Esto es un tema sumamente sensitivo y quiero ser sabia en la forma que me expreso.

Many who have followed me for years know that I have always fought against injustice and I do everything I can to contribute to causes that need to be supported. I do everything in my power to help people in need such as children and low-income women who are homeless or have been abused. I always protest against political injustices or injustice against people. Since I created this platform, it has never been about being a protagonist or acquiring fame, I have simply always wanted to make a positive change in this world.

Muchos que me siguen hacen años saben que siempre he luchado en contra de la injustica y hago todo lo que puedo para aportar a causas que necesitan ser apoyadas. Hago todo lo que esta en mis manos para ayudar a personas necesitados como niños y mujeres de bajos recursos sin hogar o maltratados/as. Siempre reclamo en contra de las injusticas políticas o hacia diversas personas. Desde que cree mi plataforma nunca se trató de ser protagonista ni adquirir fama, simplemente siempre he querido realizar un cambio positivo en este mundo.

We are all demanding change; we are tired of injustices and racism. We must understand that each one has a distinct ways of expressing themselves and joining this fight for equality.

Todos estamos reclamando un cambio, estamos cansados de las injusticas y el racismo. Debemos entender que cada cual tiene una forma distante de expresarse y unirse a este reclamo.

I always listen to and understand all opinions as long as they come with respect, but when they are ill-intentioned, defamatory and full of violence, threats and hatred towards myself, I cannot remain silent or accept it.

Yo siempre escucho y entiendo a todas las opiniones mientras vengan con respeto, pero cuando son mal intencionadas, difamatorias y llena de violencia, amenazas y odio hacia mi persona no puedo quedarme callada ni lo aceptare.

For those who do not know me well I will give you a background of who I am. I am a Puerto Rican born and raised in New York. I have friends of all kinds of races. One of my best friends since I was a child is African American, I love and adore him with all my heart. Being raised in New York I saw and lived a lot of racism. Personally, my second-grade teacher did horrible things to my friend and I because of racism. Besides, I lived many more things.

Para los que no me conocen bien les daré un trasfondo de quien soy. Soy una puertorriqueña nacida y criada en New York. Tengo amistades de todo tipo de cultura. Uno de mis mejores amigos desde niña es afroamericano, lo amo y adoro con todo mi corazón. Siendo criada en New York vi y viví mucho racismo. Personalmente mi maestra de segundo grado nos hacía cosas horrendas a mi amigo y a mí a cusa del racismo. A parte que viví muchas cosas más.

On Friday, May 29, I posted on my Instagram a photo of an artistic makeup claiming justice for George Floyd and that racism ends (It is the same photo exposed in this publication). In case there were doubts, the black art on my lips represents tape since many have wanted us to remain silent in this fight. This initiative was in union with two makeup artist friends. My followers filled me with support, but a group of non-followers decided to go against my way of expression and filled my platform with many horrendous comments, full of hate and threats. Then I found out that my photo was being circulated on twitter prompting people to write me more hateful comments and demanding that I delete the photo. Among the offenses I received were …. insensitive bitch, cruel, violent, stupid, opportunistic white girl…… and those are just a few because I do not want to share the ugliest comments. They threatened me if I did not delete the photo and even threatened that I would not work with any brands again.

El viernes 29 de mayo coloque en mi red de Instagram una foto con un maquillaje representativo reclamando justica para George Floyd y que el racismo acabe (Es la misma foto expuesta en esta publicación). Por si había dudas el arte negro en mis la labios representa “tape” ya que muchos han querido que nos mantengamos callados en esta lucha.  Esta iniciativa fue en unión con dos amigas maquillistas. Mis seguidores me llenaron de apoyo, pero un grupo de personas que no son seguidores decidieron estar en contra de mi forma de expresarme y llenaron mi plataforma de muchos comentarios horrendos, llenos de odio y amenazas. Luego me entere que mi foto estaba siendo circulada por twitter incitando a las personas a escribirme mas comentarios de odio y reclamar que borrara la foto. Dentro de las ofensas que recibí estaban…insensible, cruel, violenta, imbécil, gringa oportunista, busca pauta……y eso es poco porque no deseo compartir los comentarios mas feos. Me amenazaron si no borraba la foto y hasta amenazaron de que yo no volvería a trabajar con marcas.

It is not the first time that I express myself through artistic makeup. On another occasion I did it against abuse (of which I have been a victim).

No es la primera vez que expreso mis reclamos con arte-maquillaje ya que en otra ocasión lo hice en contra del maltrato (del cual he sido víctima).

My loves, sincerely my intention was never to offend anyone. Also, this is not the time to destroy people who want justice just like you. You do not know me, and a photo does not define who I am. My intentions came from a good place. I know a lot about the history and suffering of African Americans.  Martin Luther King is my hero and those who have followed me for a long time know that I talk a lot about him. (I leave this publication as an example -> https://www.lovelychicas.com/have-a-dream-tengo-un-sueno/)

Mis amores sinceramente mi intención jamás fue ofender a nadie. Además, este no es el momento de destruir personas que desean justicia igual que ustedes. No me conocen y una foto no define quien soy y además mi intención fue buena.  Se mucho sobre la historia y sufrimientos de los afroamericanos.Martin Luther King es mi héroe y los que me siguen hace tiempo saben que hablo mucho sobre él. (Les dejo esta publicación como ejemplo ->  https://www.lovelychicas.com/have-a-dream-tengo-un-sueno/ )

We must be understanding and see others different points of view when it comes to their form of expression. Before posting my photo I did seek guidance from African American friends, everyone supported my initiative and found nothing offensive. Many have come together to demand justice and sadly I am seeing a trend where they are dictating how people should express their opinion or if they have white skin they demand that they do not have the right to join the protest. Then they decide to create a network of hate and cyber bullying that only contributes to the negativity that we are experiencing in this world.

Debemos ser comprensivos y ver los de distintos puntos de vista. Antes de publicar mi foto busque orientación con amistades afroamericanas, todos apoyaron mi iniciativa y no encontraron nada ofensivo. Muchos se han unido para reclamar justicia y tristemente estoy viendo una tendencia en donde le están dictando a las personas como tienen que expresar su opinión o si tienen piel blanca le reclaman que no tienen derecho a unirse al reclamo.  Entonces resurgen a crear una red de odio y cyber bullying que solo aporta a la negatividad que estamos viviendo en este mundo.

I preferred to express myself with art instead of violence because I think it is a form that carries out a powerful message. I am not interested in likes or follows, if that were the case, I would upload a photo in a bikini on instagram.

Yo preferí expresarme con arte en vez de violencia porque creo que es una forma que lleva un mensaje poderoso. A mi no me interesan los likes ni follows, si ese fuese el caso subo a mis redes una foto en traje de baño.

And yes, life has given me the opportunity to be an influencer (I hate that word because many are influential and have no social networks) I will always use my influence and power to demand justice and positive changes. I will not change the essence of who I am, whoever likes me or not. I will always be real and authentic expressing messages of love and positivism.

Y si, la vida me ha regalado la oportunidad de ser influencer (odio esa palabra porque muchos son influyentes y no tienen redes) siempre voy a usar mi influencia y poder para reclamar justicia y cambios positivos. No cambiare la esencia de quien soy guste a quien no le guste. Siempre seré real y autentica llevando mensajes de amor y positivismo.

I am clear on who I am and my intentions to contribute good in this world. While there are people who are looking anywhere to get something negative out of the positive, I will hold on to love and peace. I do not support cyberbullying or the tendency to destroy and cancel people.

Yo estoy clara en quien soy y mis intenciones de aportar bien en este mundo. Mientras hay personas que buscan donde sea para sacarle algo negativo a lo positivo yo me agarrare del amor y la paz. No apoyo el cyberbullying ni la tendencia de destruir y cancelar a las personas.

I respect the opinion of those who criticized me, but I do not have to accept it because I know who I am and what I have in my heart. I am sorry if you were offended, but the death of George Floyd cannot go unnoticed and I will continue in my fight for justice in whatever way I deem appropriate.

Respeto la opinión de los que me criticaron, pero tampoco tengo que aceptarla porque se quién soy y lo que tengo en mi corazón. Lamento si se ofendieron, pero la muerte de George Floyd no puede quedar desapercibida y continuare en mi lucha por justica de la forma que yo crea pertinente.

We live in a generation where everything is taken personally and offensively, that should not be the case. Contribute your energies to causes that really make a change in our world. That change is not just about sharing videos or news on the social media, it is about showing your face, standing up and protesting. Spreading hatred and offending others who have not hurt you does not leave anything good. Let’s use our energy to claim justice because everyone matters, no matter what race or skin color. We were all created by the same God and we must accept and love ourselves as we are. I pray a lot for the peace of my world and that not one more life is lost due to racism and injustice.

Vivimos en una generación donde todo se toma de forma personal y ofensiva, eso no debe ser así. Aporten sus energías a causas que realmente realicen un cambio en nuestro mundo. Ese cambio no se trata de solo compartir videos o noticias en las redes se trata de dar la cara, luchar y protestar.  Regar el odio y ofender a los demás quienes no te han hecho daño no deja nada bueno. Usemos nuestra energía para reclamar justicia porque todos somos  importantes no importa la raza ni el color de piel. Todos fuimos creados por el mismo Dios y debemos aceptarnos y amarnos tal como somos. Oro mucho por la paz de mi mundo y que ni una vida más se pierda a causa del racismo y las injusticias.

My heart joins that of the George Floyd’s family and all those who have suffered through the evil and hatred created by racism.

Mi corazón se une al de la familia de George Floyd y a todos los que han sufrido a causar de la maldad y odio creado por el racismo.

Be You, Be Lovely
