Hi Hermanas! My name is Yasmin and I’m currently a first year student majoring in Business Economics. I’m from the Bay Area and so far, LA has been a fun environment to live in. In such little time, I’ve met a high number of wonderful people. It connects to one of my main goals, social networking. Social networking leads me to meeting even more new people and having access to many opportunities. It’s one of the main reasons why I decided to join Hermanas Unidas. Besides that, I joined to find my group of people. I wanted to be surrounded by a supportive group of Latina women who wish you nothing but the best! Being a Hermana to me means to be a part of an understanding community where you can give back and also receive support and different resources to guide you. I can’t wait to meet and get to know you guys very soon! <3
Holisss babes! My name is Alma Ortega, I'm a first year human biology and society major! I live in Sproul Hall, I'm an Aries, and I'm a first generation Mexican-American. In middle school I was introduced to this book by one of my latino teachers who understood that for us Latinas, life can get pretty rough. The book "The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros is about an adolescent/ young adult Latina named Esperanza who discusses her life in short vignettes. She goes through the motions of life and some hardships she encounters as a minority in the United States, which makes her such a relatable character to us. "The House on Mango Street" brings up a lot of social inequalities, gender norms, as well as encounters with s*xual assault/ harassment; something most authors might not typically bring up. Thanks to this book, I've become more aware of myself as a Latina, as well as others in the Latinx community that face similar problems. I highly recommend y'all read it, it's really short and super interesting. By far, one of the most relatable novels I've yet to read. Till next time hermanas <3
