Today is the first day of #HispanicHeritageMonth! I'd like to begin a 31-day thread here with the goal of sharing stories & images that reflect my northern New Mexico heritage. On Day 1, let me begin with this @9NEWS video from 2017 featuring my grandma. 1/

Today’s #SibertSmackdown gutted us. It’s gorgeous, enlightening, uplifting, & profoundly sad—all at once. We talked about writing as a way to memorialize someone precious to you, as Judy was to Joyce. Joyce Scott, Brie Spangler, & art by the incomparable @MelissaSweetIllustrator.
