Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on September 26, 1942)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa! May your day be as groundbreaking and boundary-crossing as your iconic memoir, "Borderlands/La Frontera." Your fearless exploration of identity, feminism, and queer theory continues to inspire countless readers—proving once again that borders are meant for maps, not minds.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you laughter louder than academic debates and joy brighter than a Texas sunrise. Keep shaking up cultural norms with your brilliant insights; after all these years you're still teaching us how beautifully messy life can be. Cheers to another year of challenging conventions—and doing it fabulously!
