I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
by Erika L. Sánchez
She is truly not the perfect Mexican daughter, and that's fucking awesome. I really liked how Sanchez was able to have a dialogue about Mexicans (specifically the old schools) and mental health in a story. I feel like modern day first generation mexican-americans will come to appreciate this because the cultural differences that shit ain't easy to navigate between parents and their children. It was beautiful to see the entire family grow thru their traumas together.
While I wasn't the first generation to be born in the USA, Ive seen how hard it is to deal with some serious mental health shit with parents who came from an environment that didn't tolerate it. My mother was that child, and I really wish she had better support and tools to navigate thru her demons. So this topic is definitely much needed to be widely talked about within the community.
