Oh man once she mentioned the sweet valley high series I lost it. What Patty described in this talk was how I've felt growing up and reading books my whole life. Whenever I found myself in a book it was because it was someone who was ashamed of who they were. I wasn't ashamed of myself but it did make me work harder to speak with no accent. I've assimilated myself into being that complacent Mexican-American who didn't complain about representation in media until now. I'm so happy to see the rise in diversity in books, movies, and artists that I'm no longer ashamed when my true original vernacular comes out full blown.
You are such an inspiration to our community!! una mujer fuerte, someone our little girls can see as a true role model. Gracias!! puro pa delante!! and thanks for your books.
mujer you made me cry!! as I'm telling my 6 year old boy growing up in a super competitive school district, mainly Asian and white. where we are the minority. that he can grow up to be anything he has ever imagined. I too have experience this, oh spanish book at the back. asking for spanish reading time, and them being like oh no one comes. gracias
