La Monarca Bakery. Xicana Cris, Jessie and lina de los ángeles.
Boyle Heights, L.A.. December 30, 2014
(A lot was said that morning.)
“I’m thinking of going with Lina Padilla.”
“What happened to lina de los ángeles?”
“I don’t know. Padilla was my Mom’s last name.”
“Homey. You’ve been lina de los ángeles since college.
It has so many levels of meaning. You have to keep it.”
“So, no Lina Padilla?”
“No.”
"Ok. lina de los ángeles it is. All lower case. Like bell hooks."
