Atrévetenow: Unbound

I got the degrees. The licenses. The letters behind my name.  So why do I still sometimes feel like I'm figuring it all out?  

In Episode 2 of Atrévetenow: Unbound, I reflect on achievement, self-doubt, healing, first-gen identity, and the difference between building a life and actually allowing yourself to live it.  From a morning realization on the D train to intentionally planning an anniversary date centered around writing our stories at The Strangers Project...and an ending I definitely didn't plan!! This episode is about learning that fulfillment isn't only found in what we accomplish.  Sometimes, it's found in how intentionally we participate in our own lives.  What are you still trying to prove you've figured out?

They expect us to figure it out, but they forgot to hand over the instructions. 

On this premiere episode of Atrévetenow: Unbound, we are breaking down the unwritten rules of growing up as a first-gen Latina, managing the pressure of being the family trailblazer, and why it is completely okay to rewrite the blueprint as you go. 

No filter. No apologies. Just raw conversation on navigating life when you are the one building the road.
