Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.

Muita Coragem e força para você enfrentar todos os desafios que virão, pois são com eles que crescemos.

I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.

I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.

I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.

Quero que você beba água pura, coma alimentos sem agrotóxicos e que sua casinha branca com varanda, seja voltada para o leste, onde o sol vai nascer.
