After being outed to her parents, Marritza, a 20 something years old transgender woman, embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she dances the nights away through the hidden and newly rising world of voguing in Downtown Los Angeles.
⚠️ Warning ⚠️...
"Sit down everyone, come, join me," I say as I look at all my children and wrap myself in my satin velvet gown.
My children rush to the leaving room, excitement, and joy in their eyes, it had been a while since I called upon them, they knew what was coming, they've been asking for it, and so, like every good mother, tho, I took my time, I delivered
"What is it mother," says Sandro, Ricchie follows "yes mother, what is it, you have us all wondering" I look at them with my glass of Duckhorn Vineyard 1990 Cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley and smile "nothing too serious, I assure you" I take a sit "now, why don't you all join me, I have a special announcement, and as always, it requires the most of special of guests"
At that moment someone knocks on the door "come on in, it's opened" Paul walks in, his olive skin glistening, he carries a box of pastries "have you told them" he asks, I stand to greet him "no, I have not" I kiss him on the cheek "I was waiting for you"
All of my children look to one another "Marritza, for the love of God, tell us already" says Kaleen, I return to my sit, take a sip of my wine, a bite of cheese wrapped in prosciutto and clear my throat "well my darling children, as you all know, we made it a custom to sit around in this same leaving room and tell stories about the golden year, the prime of my life, the vane of my soul, the mother who raised me, and the sibling who were with me" their eyes glimmered "and so, I want this special time of year that is to come, to be no different, so buckle up everyone, for I'll be telling the story of how Elenor made it to her last Christmas, what it meant to all of us, and what great presents life had in stored for us"
They all start whispering to one another, Sandro looks at me with tears in his eyes "does this mean, family night every Friday?" I look at him "no, it means family night every Sunday, at 9:30 pm, so you all have time to shower as we, prepare everything" they start to cheer
Oh, and just so you know my dear spectators, winter is coming, so you better get those hot cocoas ready, delicious candy canes unwrapped, and your coquito recipes out, for Christmas is coming and this house, well, it's about to become a winter wonderland!
Surprise!! Here's the poster for the coming chapter of Marritza's story
