Hey guys!
I chose to write about identity, specifically Hispanic/Latinx identity. I discussed how identity is a complex process that can confuse and pressure a lot of people, and liberate others. I talked about my own struggles with my Hispanic identity and the identities of other Hispanic/Latinx friends of mine/classmates here at UD.
I connected my ideas with the thoughts of Anzaldúa and realized that what she had to say about identity is still super pertinent to what’s going on today, and is extremely eye-opening too. I had a lot of fun interviewing people for this essay and actually learned a lot about Hispanic/Latinx culture and stereotypes while going online for articles and from talking with my friends.
Hope you guys enjoy, and learn a little something in the process!
