How do First-Generation Latinas Navigate the World of Adulting?
Two of us — one older and one younger — talk about our experiences of “adulting,” what it means to both of us, and the implications for our futures.
MiHistoria.net is a collaborative storytelling project that bears witness to the Latina experience, strengthens inter-generational ties, builds bridges of understanding between urban and rural women, and empowers Latinas to become the authors of our own stories. Learn about the MiHistoria team, the project, the film that inspired us, and our partners.
