Ni de aquí, ni de allá… or maybe we’re from both?

If you’ve ever struggled with your identity, feeling not quite enough for one culture but never fully belonging in another, you’re not alone. Being bicultural comes with challenges– but also a unique strength.

In this episode of “Cipota Colocha Says,” I sat down with Isabel Vazquez-Rowe, a proud bicultural Latina, and she talks about owning their identity, embracing our raíces, and reclaiming what it means to belong. Isabel also shares her journey as a writer and writing about being bicultural in her memoir.

How To Reclaim Your Raíces Without Losing Yourself

Instead of feeling like we have to fit into a single box, what if we embrace both cultures fully?

Here is How Isabel and I are doing it:

• There’s no single way to be “Latino Enough” or “American Enough” –You define your own identity.
• Embrace the Beauty of Being Bicultural– instead of seeing it as a struggle, recognize that its actually a super power.
• Stay connected With Your Raíces in Your Own Way– Whether that music, writing, language, food you name it, find what connects you to your heritage!
