Dedicated to Laura M. DeLaRosa she is Laura Chavez-Wazeerud-Din’s
grandmother and she shares with us her story. My viejita was the best storyteller I
ever knew. Her stories had the power to heal inspire and impower me. She was my
first teacher, my first superhero, she was my everything. She taught me life lessons I
still use today. She taught me our family history and our cultural history (not found in
any textbooks). It is my duty to carry on her legacy. My hope is that my son will grow
up with a sense of self that I have instilled in him the essence of who we are outside
of the false identities we grab hold of as we navigate the world. Annually I create our
family ofrend Like my viejita I tell our story, De La Rosa.
