My eyes are hazel
You’re not Latina enough
My hair is thin and light brown
Still, not Latina enough
My skin is white
Not at all, Latina enough
I was born in America
Definitely, not Latina enough
My body is pear shaped
Can’t be Latina enough
I speak Spanglish
For sure, not Latina enough
I don’t like too much spice
Seriously, you’re not Latina enough
In everyone’s mind
I am not Latina enough
I do not check off the stereotypical boxes
Of being a Latina
But, en mi corazón y acciones
I am Latina enough
In white spaces, I empower mi gente
When they are not included, I make spaces for mi gente
When they are mistreated, I stand up for mi gente
When it is difficult for them to speak English, I translate for mi gente
I will always stand con mi gente
Therefore, I am more than Latina enough
