marcela polanco

I am descendent of the Muisca people; racialized in the U.S. without my consent as a heterosexual, brown, cisgender woman, and middle-class immigrant. Domesticated in Westernized educational institutions in both English (US) and Spanish (Colombia), I am therefore an unintentional and intentional active participant in the sustainability of Eurocentric, capitalist, racist, and sexist systems of oppression, currently serving as an academic at San Diego State University and a licensed family therapist in California.
