The Maria that Talks Back

by Em

I’m the Maria that talks back, and I tend to say the things everybody else is thinking but won’t say.The Maria That Talks Back is where I talk about relationships, family, faith, Latino culture, generational stuff, bad decisions, hard lessons, and all the little things we grow up accepting without ever stopping to ask why.A lot of it comes from my own life and from being a Latina, a GenXer, a woman of faith, and somebody who has definitely learned a few things the hard way.I can be sarcastic. I can be snarky. I might say “what the hell or WTF” more than once.But underneath all of that, I actually care about why the Latino culture does certain things, why we keep repeating the same things, and why some of the stuff we grew up with still has such a hold on us.So yeah, I’m going to question things.I’m probably going to side-eye a few things too.And somewhere in the middle of all that, we might actually figure some shit out.
