To women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, or anyone who aches with us because of the presidential election outcome, I as well, feel your pain.

Donald Trump won the presidency, it has been too much to process and has caused immense exhaustion. I have scrolled down Facebook multiple times and have been faced with complete dissatisfaction and heated arguments that accept and reject the new president-elect.

I am in disbelief that an individual that has been endorsed by the KKK, who mocked a disabled reporter, who called Latino immigrants "rapists" and "criminals," who has been completely insulting to women--and so forth, is now the 45th president of the United States.

He will now be the leader of our country, he will sign the laws of our country, he will be commander-in-chief, and he will be involved in domestic and world affairs. I simply can't imagine how he will interact with world leaders from different cultures and backgrounds.

I am afraid of those who align with his beliefs because it appears to be giving them a sense of permission to act on behalf of hatred-- which has already occurred and continues toward Hispanics, African Americans, and Muslims.

I am worried because I am Hispanic and have brown skin. I have never felt more insecure and unaccepted because of the color of my skin and because of my roots. Harassment against people of color and targeting them because of their legal standing in this country, is intimidating and terrifying.

I am not undocumented and neither are my parents, but I have family members and friends that are. These people I care deeply about are afraid of their well-being and of their future in this country.

The future of the United States is obscure, and although we fear the unknown it is now more than ever the time to be united. We live in a diverse world and we must all welcome the different cultures, background, and beliefs. We must not lose hope in ourselves, our rights, in fighting for change, and in this country that we call home because there is unity in diversity, and love will always trump hate.
