Internally screaming at just how perfect you capture my feelings in writing! The in betweenness of being Mexican is so complicated and I can’t explain the joy I feel being validated in this experience!
This resonated so much. (Also, the meme about the family tree made me laugh because it was so familiar and real. I hated family tree assignments at school!) We have a similar name-change in our family, which has made researching really difficult. Sending solidarity as you navigate this stuff — you are not alone. ❤️
This is a very powerful essay, thank you for sharing! There were so many parts that had strong cultural resonance for me. And welcome back to writing your newsletter!
