That first time was a spiritual experience.
She said our first time
felt like HER FIRST TIME…
que se sentia como un amor virgen…
a virgin love…

When love begins… its beautiful
When love begins… its light
When love begins… it’s a fairytale
When love begins… past loves no longer exist

But virgin love…

Aaahhhh virgin love…

This love is…

Pure love

Innocent love
Unquestioning love
Trusting love
True love
Real love
Full of passion kind of love
Not caught up in the bullshit love
Lasting love
It’s you and me love…
Untainted love
Loving you freely LOVE
Without conditions love

I feel you inside of me… 

te siento por dentro de mi… 

in a way I have never felt anyone LOVE

You the mirror image of me LOVE~ 

ESE MOMENTO… 

when one gives themselves over 

QUE UNO SE ENTREGA~ 

and becomes ONE~ 

now that is LOVE~ 


Author Bio:
A proud New York born Dominicana who is passionate about writing works that empower and inspire women to find their voices. A self-identified Latina Lesbian Writer, Motivational Speaker, Performance Artist, Director, Producer, Playwright, and Activist, who after reading one too many stories about women she could not wholly relate to, decided to write her own tales that would honor women throughout Latin America and at the same time represent the American-born Latina experience which led her to launch the New York City Latina Writers Group.

She has appeared on NPR's Tell Me More and is guest writer for Latina Magazine. In 2011 Alicia published her memoir, Finding Your Force: A Journey to Love. Her one-woman show I WAS BORN was selected as part of the ONE Festival, held in NYC. She has worked for renowned magazines BusinessWeek, Glamour and Domino, but it was an article published in Urban Latino Magazine, "Two Cultures Marching to One Drum," that would change the direction of her life. In 2008, she joined Creador Pictures as Writer /Co-Producer of its first documentary, "Afro Latinos: La Historia Que Nunca Nos Contaron / AfroLatinos: The Untaught Story" WWW.AFROLATINOS.TV, a project that will change the way the world sees color and race relations in Latin America.

She lives in Harlem, with her daughter Courtniana. She is an activist against human rights violations, sexual/physical abuse towards women and children and is someone who firmly believes in facilitating safe spaces where self-empowerment and visibility is not only celebrated but encouraged.
