Yurani Cubillos

Nos dijeron que ser egoístas nos hacía malas personas. Y ahora no podemos hacer nada por nosotras mismas sin ahogarnos en culpa. La artista Yurani Cubillos reflexiona sobre lo que realmente significa elegirse a una misma — y por qué la vergüenza nunca fue un accidente.

They told us that being selfish made us bad people. And now we can't do a single thing for ourselves without drowning in guilt. Artist Yurani Cubillos reflects on what it really means to choose yourself — and why the shame was never an accident.

Fear has a way of stopping us mid-breath. It freezes us in place, makes us smaller, quieter. And sometimes, if we let it, it steals time without us even noticing. But here's what's more powerful than your fear: your voice. Your choice. Your refusal to stay small. The most courageous thing you can do is the thing that terrifies you. Do it scared anyway.
