No Hablo Español

This week we have our old friend Alyssa Saenz on the pod talking (and ranting) about what it's like to grow up near the Texas/Mexico border not speaking Spanish and how that has affected her Latinx identity. It's hard when you identify with two cultures, but you're not really "enough" of one or the other. Now that Alyssa has grown up and moved away from what she's known, she's had to break down other people's expectations of her.

Alyssa Y Saenz is a Tejana living in Los Angeles pursuing a career in entertainment. She’s fat and funny and doesn’t speak Spanish...but maybe that’ll change soon. You can find her online at @alyssayvonneappletea
