Identity - Citlali Renteria

Ethnic Ancestry

dad- Mexican, his parents born in Mexico

grandparents immigrated to the US in the late 60s
mom and dad were both born in Mexico, mom immigrated to the US at the age of 15 and my dad at 26

I grew up in a bilingual household so I’m fluent in Spanish. I guess you can say I identify with my Latino culture but to a certain extent.

Catholic

holidays we celebrate- Christmas, thanksgiving, birthdays, graduations, new years, baptisms,

Do you identify with any of these for yourself? Although I consider myself a catholic I don’t practice the religion,

Have you, or has anyone in your family, been harassed or victimized because of race, ethnicity, sex, sexual preference or religious affiliation?  mmm not really,

Do you identify with a given culture than is not addressed in the above questions?  Chicago culture,


Do you have friends that cross ethnic, race, religious, gender, or cultural barriers? no
