My only interest when saying this, is to stimulate the rescue of our more dignifiedly identity as Colombian, opposing me to our horrific barbarism. I was never a privileged person. Only I am an example of overcoming, when I had all the possibilities in my against. However, not should to be, neither to make even swims minimally important in the life, for to work against the violence, the injustice, the misery, the repression, the discrimination and to justify our own right to have our identity in any place of the planet, as all another cultures. Anything of this is enough, if I cannot fulfill a social function with my experience, that I am trying to make.

Mi único interés cuando digo esto, es estimular el rescate de nuestra más dignificante identidad como Colombiano, oponiéndome a nuestra horrorosa barbarie. Yo nunca fui una persona privilegiada. Solo soy un ejemplo de superación, cuando he tenido toda las posibilidades en mi contra. Sin embargo, no se debería ser, ni siquiera haber hecho nada mínima mente importante en la vida, para trabajar contra la violencia, la injusticia, la miseria, la represión, la discriminación, y justificar nuestro propio derecho a tener nuestra identidad en cualquier lugar del planeta, como todas las otras culturas. Nada de esto es suficiente, si no puedo cumplir una función social con mi experiencia, lo cual estoy tratando de hacer.
