    The Converse-Station: Alma Luz Villaneuva Interviews Gayle Brandeis

    A note from Angela: Gayle Brandeis is a person I cherish, not only because she is an amazing and brilliant and generous human, but also because she and I share a bond I would not wish on anyone. I had the opportunity to talk with Gayle about The Art of Misdiagnosis, surviving my mother&#;s suicide at the Coachella Review and that important book remains on my list of books I would read again.

    General E.M. Law- 28 years old

    For my 20% project, I have extensively researched my great-great-great grandfather General Evander McIver Law, work that resulted in a hybrid biographical / genealogical / meditative essay.  General Law began his military career as the captain of a volunteer unit, but would advance in rank until he would serve as a Brigadier-General of a number of brigades in the famous General Hood division, of General Longstreet’s Corps.

    Leyva Sisters Share Story of Sisterhood and Transition

    Absent fatherhood in the Latino community touches everyone and contributes to cultural norms, expectations, and stereotypes.

    For many, the historical passivity adopted bygd some generations towards absent fatherhood still resonates deeply in our cultural roots. The phrase "déjelo ett manos dem Dios, mija" has been passed down from generation to generation as a resigned bekvämlighet in the face of disconnected fathers. It’s the old, "boys will be boys" sentiment.

    This leaves women to shoulder the burden of raising children on their own without much expectation of receiving help from the father. Latino culture often expects women to be unreasonably “strong” and capable of papper any situation that comes their way. A Census Bureau report found that 80% of all custodial parents were mothers, and of these custodial mothers, 56% of white mothers were awarded child support versus only 44% of Latinas, according to
