Outlet youth Yosimar Reyes featured in Mercury News!
|
watch video!
Poor, brown and gay: Poetry makes Reyes' day, can it pay?
"[...]'I hated people seeing us
as victims of poverty,' Reyes recalled as he sipped tea at a cafe in
downtown San Jose. 'I thought that was a normal life.'
Nevertheless,
by the time the bright, Mexican immigrant entered high school he was
painfully shy, quietly gay and acutely aware that poverty isn't cool.
He wrote his feelings and observations in notebooks.
'I am the
one you define with hate, the one that doesn't fit your labels, but
manages to reclaim his name '... I am of destructions and reparations,
of freedom in cages.'"
by Joe Rodriguez
