“Right. At work, I’m either the ‘diversity hire’ or else I’m ‘too white.’ Like, people look at my CV and then at my skin and they think, hmm, is she actually Mexican? That’s true in the wider world, too. We spend the holidays with my dad’s parents in Mexico every few years, and I feel like I’m too white there. It’s hard to explain. I feel like I’m always navigating these two worlds but always falling short in each of them. But at home, with my family, it’s not a thing. I’m just who I am.”
