Description
This week we have yet another amazing guest , our friend, activist, writer and all around power house Julissa Arce Raya.
Julissa chats with us about her most recent book “You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation”. A book that she hopes can make us feel that no matter where we come from, we are worthy to be whoever we want without having to change our essence just to make others feel comfortable. She describes her book as a celebration of our uniqueness, our traditions, our culture, and our heritage.
We talk about her evolution and growth through the past 8 years as is reflected in her books. From the first story she shared to now, feeling like she is finally walking in her purpose. Julissa’s desire is for the upcoming generation of Latinxs to see themselves reflected in the culture that surrounds us in this country.
This is one of those episodes where we let our vulnerability out and talk very openly about our feelings not only for ourselves but for our children and what identity now means for them. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts and feed back!
