Description

In this episode of She Believed, Kristina gets real about something a lot of us brown girls have quietly wondered: Am I Latina enough? Spoiler alert: she doesn’t speak Spanish fluently, can’t handle spicy food, and grew up in a small farm town in Washington. So… street cred? Questionable. But cultural pride? Off the charts. Kristina opens up about navigating identity as a second-generation Mexican-American, the pressure to be a "perfect representative" of her community, and what it’s like being the only brown girl in the room—whether it’s in a college lecture hall or on national TV at E! News. She also shares why not speaking Spanish doesn’t make her (or you!) any less Latina, and how she finally made peace with being exactly who she is. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to earn their own identity badge. Laugh, cry, nod along—and maybe even call your abuela when it’s over. If you laughed, cried, or yelled “OMG SAME!” at any point—do me a solid: ✨ Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with your favorite human.
