About Me

This life is crazy. But Know your roots. And always keep living the questions. Not everything is beautiful in this life, but you got to keep moving, stay out the way, and stay true to everybody that brought you here no matter what may have happened along the way; I remember that I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the flawed kindness of so many. Take care of yourself and love yourself because if you don’t, then who will? I learned that the long way. But always know that there is no “I”, because after “you” go, there’s only a “she” or a “he.” A history. So I live for history. To change it, to resurrect its meaning. My name’s sh0na. I’m a hot mess?. Lol. I’m a young spirit wit an ancient soul brought through so many lives, taken in by so many hearts. I stay learning and growing everyday. I make mistakes along the way, and my passion get the best of me sometimes cuz I’m a fighter, make no mistake. But in the end I live for the people. Born from the forgotten African and Asian roots and the untold, masked tragedies of an East Bengali family, passed down to a Salvadoran and Mexican clan of survivors, to the world of East Oakland. I come from laughter and pain, I chase music and to be inspired. Constant seeker of all things profound and the imperfectly beautiful, everyday growing into the woman I was destined to be. This life is short, so I make it rhyme. And it make me dance. So you can see me at da club. pErkin. Lol. Stay drug-free.R.I.P My Dida. My Grandmother. My Heart. At the center of everything is you. I'll always come back to you."Si me matare, me resucitare en el pueblo."
