What I’ve learned is that anxiety sometimes never goes away; it comes and it goes. It just becomes more manageable over time as you get to know your triggers.

I still have people asking me if I’m Spanish? Caucasian dudes blowing kisses at me and calling me ethnic slurs. I still cringe but this is still Trump’s America—even in New York.

The fact that the FDA and pharmaceutical companies allow these life threatening contraceptives to be on the market for women because we deem it a woman’s job to prevent birth instead of the man (who impregnates the woman in the first place) makes my stomach turn in disgust.
