Oh, my God.

Hi, I'm Eva Terrazas.

I am Latina, Chicana, Mexicana, born and raised in San Francisco, California, and I'm a proud daughter of immigrant parents.

We grew up and were raised with a real strong internalized sense of our personal identity because of their journey.

We were poor, but we didn't realize that we were poor because we just had so much richness in terms of our history and our family.
33:11
In our home, we didn't speak English, we spoke Spanish.
