HaU BLOG Posts
Hermanas has given me not only a home away from home, but also a family. It's crazy to think that I only met these girls two years ago, and now I can't imagine my life without them. I will forever be grateful for the unconditional love and support I have found within this org. Las quiero por vida.

From the minute I went to my first HaU event, I received an overwhelming amount of love and welcoming vibes from every single person I've met in this hermandad. I'm only a 2nd year but I already know being a part of HaU will be the highlight of my years in college. You are all my soulmates, thank you for existing ❤
"i thought one month would be enough i thought it’d feel like an eternity an entire month to focus on myself? what was i to do with one month dedicated just for me? little did i know it wasn’t enough for that month left faster than it came i didn’t want it to end but just because the days went by didn’t mean my time was up if i could be patient for someone else then why can’t i do it for myself" - 01/02/19 This is one of the many poems I've written over the past years. It feels so silly yet intimate acknowledging that I like to express myself through poetry, out of all things lol. This specific one felt different to me and I couldn't be happier. It was a sign of growth where a little over one year ago I couldn't fathom the idea of self-love and automatically associating it with me being selfish. Although I'm still learning, and I don't think I'll ever stop, understanding the importance of self-love has definitely made me realize that I am the priority of my life. It's allowed me to challenge any physical, mental, and academic challenges without doubting (too much) whether I'm qualified enough. HaU has only helped me embrace self-love and even taught me about self-care and it definitely doesn't hurt being surrounded by the strongest guerreras en este planeta. Thank you for taking the time to read my post <3
- Brenda Martinez Once upon a time, I was living in a fairytale world where I thought that no matter what course my life took, what failures occurred, it would all be okay because I had that one person that I loved by my side. Today I am on the journey towards believing, that not only am I going to be okay but that my happiness and peace are limitless because I have myself, and that is all I’ve ever needed. During one of the many suffocating nights, my big me puso en mi lugar and told me that being poderosa means realizing when you are not okay and learning to accept that as part of your growth process. Obviously, that is easier said than done, but I have been blessed with the most amazing family, friends, and communities that have held my hand through the most difficult times. Growth is learning to embrace the scars que dejan las heridas, for me, this was possible by surrounding myself with love from HaU, BruinHope, and mis amigas. Whatever kind of healing you find yourself going through, en los anos que vengan, the process is painful and rocky but it is okay to be vulnerable, just keep breathing, I love vulnerable you.
Hey everyone, my name is Karina and I am your intern for Hermana’s Advisors. I am a second-year philosophy and public affairs double major. In addition to this position, I participate at other student organizations and work at the UCLA Store and at Green Dot Public Schools as a mentor. I plan on going to Law School to become a criminal prosecutor. Last year, I decided to spend my winter break in New York City, which was very interesting. I got to try New York Pizza (although I prefer LA pizza), went to a lot of tourist locations (including the Empire State Building, MET, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn Bridge), and saw the Ball Drop. I traveled to Niagra Falls during my time there, as well. I have plenty of New Year’s Resolutions which include traveling more, organizing my time more efficiently, and adding more things to my resume. So far I have succeeded in doing those things. I am traveling to Mexico (for the first time in fifteen years) next week. I am an intern for Hermanas and have applied to other internships. And surprisingly I am also on top of all my schoolwork. I cannot wait to see what this year has in store.
