But here's the truth a broken latina knows: We don't break like glass. We break like earth — and from that crack grows something fierce. Maguey. Maíz. Mariposa.
I grew up in the hyphen — too spicy for the suburbs, too quiet for the family parties, too fluent in pain for people who only wanted my music, my food, my curves, my fiesta, not my fury.
