the issue was that I was so angry and so hate filled that I couldn’t trust anyone, and that’s something I’m STILL healing from. I just honestly don’t know how to balance my rage and this love that I’ve been cultivating within me. ... the marathon continue though ________________________________ ‘how AmeriKKKa profits from collective Black fear’ on AFROLATINADIVINA.COM, go read it. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjSMDgjCLN/?igshid=9an7o63jwr0f

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.” - Anais Nin https://www.instagram.com/p/ByES0ORj1Lz/?igshid=h4mzza5d1366

... Because my fate is sealed, written in gold. I am goals. & it doesn’t matter who sees me; Nor does it matter who acknowledges my effort Because the point isn’t them, it is I. I am my alpha. I am my omega. I am the one I have been searching for all along. Found, Profound & Unbound. ____________________________ #ChristyX #poecia #afrolatina #Divina #nature #Freedom #photography #selfLove #unapologetic #APT3H https://www.instagram.com/p/BxTLk9WnQ-H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dk2z9mx1tk7w

dominicanish: A Diasporic Commemoration

dominicanish: A Diasporic Commemoration

A Narrative by Christy X Martínez

           ‘Dominicanish,’ the first annual Dominican Writers Conference, was a powerful display of matriarchy, poder al pueblo (power to the people) and free expression. In all honesty, I’m still vibrating high off of the transformational energies of that day! From witnessing the tremendous team effort of their board to listening to Congressman Adriano…

I know it seems easier to live life safely, but safety is an illusion because tomorrow is never promised. So don’t let yourself be deceived and thus shackled by fear because fear breeds mediocrity and mediocrity is highly infectious! So stay away from people who have dreams they never make time for and stay even further away from people who criticize your actions without taking none themselves. They’re foes in friend’s clothing, they’re liars disguised as lovers. You live in a land of limitless opportunity, so don’t take another moment for granted. Live your life ready to come face to face with your miracle, because it’s closer than you ever imagined. Stop telling yourself you’re not ready! Do it afraid, do it alone, do it without needing to know the results, do it even if you’re the only one who believes right now... JUST DO IT! 🦋 (at Harlem) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAYmUSHe-i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w4ohnu58hdmq

iTunes finally approved #theXChroniclesPodcast and I’m ecstatic!!! Honestly, this is a bigggg deal for ya’ girl! It feels as if a monumental component of my vision has come to fruition and I’m so overwhelmed with joy! I worked hard for this accomplishment, not just physically but emotionally too. I truly had to dig deep and give myself permission to unveil layers of my soul and put it into this magic... AND I’m only getting started, so imaginateeee. Recording the podcast ALONE has shown me the tremendous power I posses when my heart is 100% IN. Thank You to everyone who has shown love and gratitude to the vision. From small victories to worldly feats!!! GOD BLESS. _________________________________ #theXChroniclesPodcast #ChristyX #AfroLatinaDivina #blessed #GodisLove #highlyfavored #womeninbusiness #selfLove #Growth #thankful 🙌🏽 (at Harlem New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwxn3j-HoEc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t54x09mre89g

The X Chronicles S1E2: Starting Anew

Dreaming through Healing         I’m in such a deep healing space right now, so I’ve been writing intimately a lot more than usual (journaling and poetry), sharing a lot of oral anecdotes and spending time nourishing my spirit in nature.

Lessons of Entrepreneurship: KNOW THYSELF TO HEAL THYSELF

Lessons of Entrepreneurship: KNOW THYSELF TO HEAL THYSELF

         I’ve been grappling with launching my own business for over a year now. I’ve found reason after reason as to why I couldn’t because something, anything was “missing”. I worked on countless outline after outline, attained over 5 master certifications, lost weight and STILL didn’t want to start my business. I had literally done everything to convince myself I needed to prepare and was…

Isaiah 54:17

      Today I woke up inspired and with a message; perhaps for me, perhaps for YOU, perhaps for us both. I got to thinking about opposition and how much energy we spend within our culture, thinking of and in essence giving unnecessary energy to “haters,” people who are out of alignment with us. So I got to TRULY asking myself who cares? Really?! With so much to promote that inspires and…

Staring at Insecurity

                I didn’t always believe myself to be insecure. To be honest, for a long time I didn’t even truly understand what it meant to be insecure. Then for an even longer time I was too egocentric to allow myself to be vulnerable enough to admit I was insecure. I heard the term float around but would be oblivious to its affect; partly in avoidance of the conversation and partly in…

Why I Quit my Job to Pursue my Dreams                 Yea the title is pretty self-explanatory. I recently quit my full-time, salaried “dream job” in order to actively pursue my actual dreams of writing freelance and its been the most challenging decision I’ve ever had to make.
