Hi everybody! My name is Norma but my nickname is Twinkie. It might sound like a silly name, but in fact... well it is. It was given to me in high school by a very dear friend of mine who passed away, so in honor of her, I kept it. 

I am originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, MX and grew up partly in Colonia Santa Cecilia and partly in Tijuana.

When I was about 9 years old my family made the big move into the United States and we've been here ever since. By "family" of course I mean my mom, dad, older brother and sister. My parents had four more children which they raised in McFarland. By "they" of course I mean my wonderful mom and my older sister. My dad's job as a father was complete as far as he was concerned when he helped conceive them.

I graduated from McFarland High School in 1989. I am now married and have four children the ages of 17, 16, 8, and 7. They are my world. I never really understood that phrase until I became a mother.

I love to read and belong to Bakersfield Chicana Book Club. The name is deceiving. It's not just women, there are men in the group. And it's not just Chicanos... it's people of all races who love to read and support Chicano Authors.

I love to write and have been blogging/writing my crazy random thoughts on bakotopia.com. But I love MAS Magazine so I thought I'd join this online community as well.

*If you want information about the book club just send me a message.

Well, I guess by now I probably told you more than you needed to know so that's all. For now. I hope you enjoy reading my crazy random thoughts!

OH.. and another thing.. I LOVE THIS MAN!

"The people who say that (there is no culture in Bakersfield) are not recognizing their culture. If you don't recognize culture then you are not a part of it. Culture is in the town, culture is in the bike path, culture is downtown, and culture is in the music and the theater. It is here."... N.L. Belardes local Chicano Author
