Description: A comic strip that addresses growing up Latina in the United States.

Honduran-Colombian cartoonist Kat Fajardo delves into the origins of her childhood shame over her Latina identity and first generation immigrant status: internalized colorism, exoticized stereotypes of Latinas in American media, machista gender roles enforced by Latine media and family, and the in-betweenness of feeling too "gringa" to fit in with her family and too Latina to fit in with her white American friends. -- Claudia
