I didn’t have a lot of Latino, Spanish-speaking friends growing up in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles but I did have a lot of family which was great. Not until I went to college did I find my Latino brethren and I got to meet Latino kids just like me but who had grown up all over not only Southern California but also all around the country. I realized then, though, that my life would have been different even if I had been raised in your beach community or in East L.A. or in the inland empire not to mention in another state. In the end, it’s good to know that each of our American Latino experience is unique and no more or less authentic. :)

I’m sure your Latino identity would be accentuated if you were raised somewhere else, just like many other facets of our personalities.

Beautiful reflection.
