We shouldn’t be defined by how well we speak Spanish.

Because most of us are bilingual. That’s one language more than most speak.

So don’t ask us this…

You want to learn Spanish? Take a class. Buy Rosetta Stone. Hell, use Google Translate.

You see Soraya on TV, but we’re not all like her.

One word everyone needs to get out of their vocab when describing Latinas is exotic.
