The question that started it all
I love being Latina. In every lifetime, I’d choose it again, and again and again. But let’s be honest... some of the rules we grew up with could use a serious upgrade.
“Be grateful for what you have.” “Don’t be too much.” “Put everyone else first.” Somehow, you can follow every one of them and still feel like you’re not enough. (Ask me how I know.)
