Building on the legacy of our ancestors and the activist genealogy of MALCS, we reinforced our commitment to continue this work with the release of this issue as well as creating “work that matters.” Chicana scholars, creative writers, and artists in this issue offer a perspective celebrating the resilience of Chicana/Latina identities and experiences.  For the first time in the history of Chicana/Latina Studies, the Creative Writing section features graphic text created by two women-of-color artists. We extend our hand to others “con el corazón con razón en la mano,” as we strive to individually and collectively share strategies on peaceful coexistence as well as spreading conocimientos.
