作为一个Latinx创意在美国:“我认为拉丁美洲,有时候我觉得自己像个失败者的创意世界。我这样说没有任何不满。我喜欢生活中的弱者。这促使我努力工作,努力工作偿还。我觉得我需要比别人更努力地工作吗?是的。不仅因为我是拉丁美洲,因为我是一个移民。我的存在在美国官员依靠我证明我的价值在玻璃窗后面。拉丁美洲的经历是难以确定,因为它更抽象和微妙。我曾经有一位老板想赞美我的努力工作和我的父母说一定是非常严格的,这就是为什么我不喜欢的。我问他什么意思,他意识到他做了什么。他试图道歉,更糟糕的是,说委内瑞拉人必须不同于墨西哥人。 I had a good relationship with him, so I asked why he had to insult a whole continent and then a whole country instead of just saying 'good job.' It sparked some conversations in the office that had never happened before, because I was the first Latin American person to work there. I am often in spaces in which I am the only Latin American, so I feel a big responsibility to do the best work I can to properly represent us, and to speak up when those biases appear.”
