My favorite nugget from Jacqueline Rioja Velarde's delightful and informative talk was when she talked about one part of her changing cultural identity was as the mother of a T. C. K. ( Third Culture Kid.) I have international friends and their family's identities include that kid whose cultural identity is different from each of the parents. I also appreciate how she illustrated the stages of acculturation by sharing about her life story.
I think that the Center for American and World Culture at Miami University is lucky to have her as their Associate Director. Based on her comment, I have looked on line about a restaurant I have frequently driven past in my own community, founded by one of Ohio's entrepreneurial Latinas.
