Description
As a child of immigrant parents coupled with Latino machismo, knowing you're different from an early age can be traumatic.
Overcoming that trauma is another hurdle in and of itself.
Coming to terms with one's identity can be difficult.

Reserved, distant, a wall flower.
"You're too white"
"You're too Mexican"
"Stop acting like a girl"
"F**"
