“Testimonio pedagogy moves us toward an understanding of suffering, not as an individual experience, but as a communal process of teaching and learning. This type of pedagogy allows a naming of ourselves, naming of our pain, naming of feelings and biases. The way that people read, connect, engage, draw, and get inspired to share their own papelitos guardados legitimizes the theory of testimonio—legitimizes organic knowledges and an organic method of merging theory and practice. The feminista praxis of listening to stories of struggle, survival, resistance, and oppression forces the student and teacher to come inside the classroom as ‘whole’ beings” (Flores Carmona & Luciano, 2014, p. 89)
