how does one prepare to hold their father in their arms as he dies and then assume a new identity as they illegally cross the United States border? Simple answer: they don’t.
“We don't need anyone in this world to tell us who we should or shouldn’t be. We make our own paths in this world, we are living this life, we are doing this now. So, if you want to be a badass Latina representing women that look like you in the kitchen then do it, but do it because Amelia wants to do it, and not for anyone else.”
“Amelia just went head-to-head with another chef at our restaurant and completely killed it, but because our boss is a sexist, egotistical, little shit he refuses to see how talented she really is.” “What’s this guy’s name?” Joaquin asks amused. “Why? Are you going to chop him up into little pieces and toss him into my pressure cooker too? If so, go right ahead!” I say sarcastically.
