Lucha's Childhood

Animated Chapter
Animation by Olga Makarchuk
Text by Jane Stephens-Rosenthal
Performed by Suzanna Guzmán
Music by gnarwhallaby
Driving away from the accident, Lucha remembers why accidents are her greatest fear: she recalls growing up in Boyle Heights, how she grew to love art as a way to bring people together and incite change. She remembers how, on the day of her quinceañera, a gruesome car crash killed her parents, and her grandfather inspired her to practice puppetry. In the early stages of discovering who she is, she recalls meeting Orlando in another accident: spilling coffee on his suit. Even as she is maturing, the trauma of the accident still haunts her; the song that was playing on the radio never leaves her mind.
