There is no such a thing as a safe place in the world
I was born in Colombia. I am considered what the Colombian government would officially call a “victim of violence”. I have experienced different the different forms of it, commonly exposed by war. Call it sexism, racism, inequality, homophobia, xenophobia and “reasonable murder”. I have witnessed events I can now begin to describe to my fellow Americans: walls covered in blood, humans losing their breath, their arms, their legs, their heads, their lives, their loved ones. I saw humans losing their voices as well as their basic human rights.
