Hola,

In a time when we are encouraged to be inclusive and support one another, I wonder how some of the mainstream culture practices support this shift. In this post, I question a popular community-building activity in the hopes that we engage in it conscientiously. ​

Abrazos,

Hola,

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States. It is a privilege for me to teach my first language. In this post, I share some of the reasons why teaching and learning Spanish is much more than acquiring a new skill. ​
