In this multi-part series, we hear from a mother-daughter pair about the challenges of being Latina in predominantly White spaces.

How do you raise your child to be proud of herself when her school and city leave her feeling left out? In this episode, I talk with Juliana Varela about how she supports her Latina daughters amidst environments that range from neglectful to down right hostile. She shares the importance of language and culture and how she helps them navigate the Black White binary that often pervades US race conversations. Next week, we will hear directly from her daughter, so make sure to subscribe to the podcast to be the first to hear a rockstar of a young lady.
