Poem 'Make-Up Lessons' by queer Mexican Australian poet Dr Asiel Adán Sánchez from their book of poetry 'M/ /otherland', read by Asiel and their mother. A homage to Mexican feminine strength, resilience and tenderness, and how it nurtured them as a young non-binary person. Translation by Alejandro del Castillo Garza.
