La Gloria

I'd like to meet:

other SMART & fun-loving people. community organizers. mamis. people of color. white allies.

socially conscious people who actually work for change

people who are hip and intelligent but still appreciate a bad 80's ballad (think Atlantic Starr) or Mexican rancheras!

You get points if you can talk about the overrepresentation of minorities in the juvenile justice system, prison system, our skewed country, knows about colorism (not to be confused with racism), white privilege, etc. If that's too heavy for you, that's who I am. I can also talk about the latest Grey's Anatomy episode and my extensive shoe collection but how long can that last us?

If you are interested in dating me, know that I am only interested in someone who can keep up with me, who is interested in personal and political change, and who can plan things and stick to them. I have no time for anything else. I do not need or want another father for my kid, thank you very much! (We've got that covered.) Oh yes, and you'll need to read this entire box thoroughly and most importantly UNDERSTAND it before contacting me. Yes, I am demanding but OH so worth it. ;)

******"CHILDFREE" people need not apply*******This does not mean you have to have a child to talk to me, just don't look upon children as if they are unnatural, weird, or a burden. If you don't know about the childfree movement, LOOK IT UP.
