“Jovencito, it’s going to be lonely being different and yet strong in this world,” James Francisco Bonilla’s grandmother told him when he was ten. Born with congenital cataracts, James had limited vision in his right eye and none in his left. At age nine, after a classmate hurled a horseshoe at his face in a racially motivated assault, James’s right eye was injured and he became legally blind. At home, too, he feared physical violence, experiencing the unpredictable outbursts of a single mother suffering from severe mental illness. Throughout his youth as a Puerto Rican New Yorker, James was continually failed by educational systems that exposed him to one abuse after another. Searching for relief and inspiration, he discovered an unexpected solace in the natural world, spiritual encounters with Mother Earth that led him toward both personal healing and advocacy.

At nineteen, a breakthrough in medical technology restored the sight in his right eye, and James recognized his unique perspective on the struggles of the disabled and marginalized in American life—and his intense will to make a difference. Here, James is joined in conversation with Beverly Daniel Tatum and Charmaine L. Wjeyesinghe.



James Francisco Bonilla (he/him) is a New York–born Puerto Rican writer and retired professor of Hamline University in St. Paul. He has written and presented nationally and internationally on diversity, cultural competence, and leadership, especially on how to diversify environmental organizations. 

Beverly Daniel Tatum (she/her) is an award-winning educational leader, best-selling author, expert on the psychology of racism, and longtime social justice educator.
 
Charmaine Wjeyesinghe (she/her) is a consultant and author with 40 years of experience working with colleges, universities, and public and private organizations on diverse social justice areas and organizational change.

Blindness and blind spots.

Oh my sugar skull, You can have it all
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
And oh my sugar sweet, You make me feel complete
Completely miserable

I've come so far to see you I took two trains and a bus
It's Dia De Los Muertos and my chucks are kicking dust
You're my senorita, santeria's what you practice
And if you broke my heart I would end up in a casket
So if you don't mind let me share my point of view
I wrote it in a notebook among other thoughts of you
Your beauty haunts my dreams but I wouldn't change a thing
I love the way you move and you like the way I sing...

Oh my sugar skull, You can have it all
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
And oh my sugar sweet, You make me feel complete
Completely miserable

A week before the funeral I said I was in love with you
and I swear at your burial you said "Me too"
We made a plan to damn our souls to burn with dad's of rock and roll
there's things I guess I'll never know, I wonder where your soul will go
Love can be so bittersweet like clementine that rots your teeth
My heart is buried six feet deep, so pull me down from underneath
God you're worth remembering, I just hope that you remember me

Oh my sugar skull, You can have it all
Amazing grace how sweet the sound (Grace how sweet the sound)
And oh my sugar sweet, You make me feel complete
Completely miserable

(You can have it all) Completely miserable
