How did I choose this program/career?

When I was five or six years old my dreams were to be a singer, dancer or a vet. In that moment I really loved animals and I felt very sensitive with animal suffering, so I wanted to help animals being a veterinarian. But as time goes by I started to influence in music, because my dad and mom made music together, not as a career but as a sort of part time job. So, in this musical context in a few times I acompane my mother in her shows, that wasn't big or with a good production but anyways I felt inspiration and admiration.

Is feminism for everyone?

For years be declared feminist has been a revolutionary act. But nowadays some of right-wing sectors have been appropriate of political struggle with a speech very elitist, white, and specially hypocritical. Being in the right side and being feminist is a huge contradiction because the bedrock of capitalism is the nature exploitation, the animals and humans reification and specially the exploitation of females bodys. Male chauvinism isn't only a capitalism issue, because in others economic systems patriarchy also has been existing. I think that liberal feminism has a lot of contradiction, because has been focus preferably in the rights of white and rich woman, supported exploitation systems with the slogan "my body, mi choice".  Obviously I believe that every woman has the right of choice about her own body, but also I believe that all choices should be taken with consciousness, and having clear the effect that hers choices generated in the society.
