Latinas en Ohio

I learned a lot through today's speaker that really gave me a new, much needed perspective into who Latinas really are. I found it really interesting that Latinas are becoming a very significant percentage of the United States. I now have a better understanding of the difference between Hispanic and Latino (and even American.) What surprised me most from Jacqueline's presentation was her comment about feeling claustrophobic after coming from from the large city of Lima, Peru to a small, rural area like Oxford, Ohio. One would think the opposite would or could only be true and that only if you move from wide open spaces to a big, crowded city you could feel claustrophobic. This really made me step back and think how different people's world views really are and how that influences them in many aspects throughout their lives.
