Episode 5

In this episode, Rayyan sat down with Sam Velez to discuss her identity as a Mexican-American and as a daughter of immigrants. They broke down her layered and evolving feelings towards identifiers like ‘Latinidad’. Sam opened up about the difficulties of discussing issues of race and colorism with her extended family members, and the problematic tendency that America has to center white Eurocentric identity, and the proximity to it in discussions of ethnicity, race, and identity.
