Hola! I’m a bilingual Mexicana living in Eastern Washington. When I first moved here over 16 years ago, I had many culture shocks even when I was hanging out with other immigrants like me. After living in Los Angeles for a few years, I noticed how different the Latina/o experience is there (as we are the majority). But coming back to Washington after that made me feel like something was missing…
Though we have a pretty big Latina/o community, it feels very different than Southern CA, where being Latina is a huge part of people’s identify and even people from other cultures seem to know lots about Latinidad.
I want this page to be a place where Latinas/os living in Eastern WA can connect and feel less alone.
