My intention was to create a video animation series for an emerging generation of Chicano Studies scholars, community activists, who are looking for frameworks that help them think critically about power, dominant ideologies, coalition building, heteropatriachy and multisided resistance.

A Chicanita’s Guide to…Borderlands/La Frontera is the inaugural issue for our online zine targeted at Chicanas (and other young girls of color) between the ages of 13-18. Our project’s intention is to provide a fun resource for young girls with the hope of that it can open up conversations around topics Chicanitas are not given the space to discuss or would like to learn about. We decided to begin our zine series with an introduction to Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera to expose Chicanitas to canonical Chicana feminist theory. http://achicanitasguideto.tumblr.com/
