Maria Elena Ramirez proudly presented Chicana "Her-Story", a multi-media presentation of Oral History, including teatro, music, rap and storytelling. Maria Elena presented a feminine perspective of what has transpired over these last 500+ years since 1492, when Columbus invaded the Americas, including her poems "Time to De-colonize Your Mind" and "Don't call me a `Ho`, No Mo." Students responded very positively to Maria Elena's performance, commenting that they have "never heard history told like this" and that they would like to learn more about what is not always taught in school.

It was a koo presentation i really enjoyed it
it was a very interesting presentation. i really liked this performance because it was fun and educational at the same time.
This presentation that I went to was funny ( in a good way). The way she spoke her words. It seemed like she did not rehearse it but instead it came from her heart. I like the fact that I learned more about Latina/o's. The best part that I really enjoyed was when she was rapping her stories. That was the best!
