What Does it Means to be a Latina?
Filed in archive Latina Musings on November 3, 2006

I'm proud of being Latina.

Latinas are warm, passionate, seductive; we are loving, caring, protective women. Latinas are mothers, always; either of their own children, or of their friends and loved ones. We nurture the world, with ancient knowledge, inherited traditions and profound intuition.
We take pride on our culture; we teach our kids español, castellano and our dialectos, every day, so our language stays alive. We fight discrimination and persecution; we're brave women.
We love and support our men, walking side by side with them; we're wives, but also partners. We truly understand men and women are different; we want equal rights, but we don't want to be men. We express our feminity with joy and exuberance, telling the world: Soy mujer, soy Latina!
We dance, and sing, and cook with many spices; we tell stories and cuentos, we believe in magical things. We have big hearts, wild spirits and pure souls; we're built with strong thighs, wide hips, wavy hair, starry eyes. We come in many shapes, sizes and ages; our soft skin has delicious and scented colors: chocolate brown, ebony black, milky white, hazelnut gold...
We are all so different, and yet so alike.
