What does it mean to you to be Latina?
Being Latina means to me that I encompass pride for my family, and myself, love of culture, and a desire to see my people achieve. One of the main reasons that I love teaching in El Paso, where 99% of my students are Mexican and Mexican-American, is that I can instill in them the love for their heritage and the desire to fulfill their dreams.
Bill Fisher and Chicano Richard A. Lou, both artists, collaborated on creating public art that deconstructed the very public tale of Jennifer Wilbanks, the white runaway bride who used the media and wove a story about being kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a Hispanic man instead of telling the truth.
