Seeking Truth with Linda “Kiki” Quiquivix

Kiki is an author, illustrator, and geographer whose parents immigrated from Guatemala. Her book, Palestine 1492: A Report Back, takes us on a journey through history, geography, and political theory through the language of memoir. In our conversation, we share our personal stories about who we used to be, how we woke up, and who we are becoming. In this reflection, we emphasize the need for compassion, understanding, and forgiveness for those who don’t yet see the Truth.  Kiki shares her thoughts on academia, trauma, and what organization and resistance can look like, such as planting literal watermelon seeds. Kiki’s teachings and worldview are the medicine our soul need in this moment. Kiki’s website Kiki’s IG Leah’s IG
