Today’s guest speaker, Jaccqueline Rioja Velarde, offered insight about Latinas
in Ohio that was very intriguing and interesting. I liked how she shared her
personal experiences to help bring a better understanding of cultural identity.
Her personal experiences helped to bring a better understanding of what it is
like to experience cultural identity both mentally and physically.
Although I wasn’t surprised about the challenges of overcoming adversity
and achieving success, I was surprised to learn about the enormous growth of
post-secondary education for Latina women over the past 10 years. Additionally,
it was intriguing to learn there was a drastic increase in the number of Latinas
making over $50,000 per year. I found it very motivating of how the paradigm has
shifted from a higher level of education to being just a dream to it becoming a
reality.
