Dare

Anorexic-looking, White, Mexican, Hispanic, Chicana

No. An American-Hispanic. A beautiful combination of dos culturas, two cultures.

¡Español! English! Turn me inside out and see what me is truly

Life can’t decipher me but I can to life.

Push me, make me fall. You won’t, I dare you.

Faced my greatest fear – lost my father to THE battle against immigration

I’ll find him one day, just as I am finding myself today.

Primera de la familia, first of the family

Pero no la última, but not the last.

Conquering a male-dominated field, statistics, and the undefined

A mission. A dream. A Future.

Try to knock me down, I dare you…
