Episode 54: What Are You? Being an Afro-Latina in Los Angeles
b'
"What are you?" is a question that my sister and I have been asked multiple times. This usually occurs when the person hears our surname or when we speak Spanish. We are Black and Latina at the same time with immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic. This isn\'t special. However, there was less representation growing up in the greater Los Angeles area in 1980s and 90s. The West Coast had very little Dominicans, at least in our area there were very few. So, our family was a bit of an anomaly in our neighborhood. I thought it would be interesting to interview my sister to discuss our experiences as Afro-Latinas on the West Coast, in Los Angeles. These are our experiences.
