"In this powerful episode of the Tragedy Academy Podcast, Jay and Gary sit down with Marina Hernandez, a Chicana photographer from East Las Vegas. Marina shares her journey of discovering and embracing her Chicano identity and the challenges she faced along the way.
Marina talks about how her parents wanted her and her sisters to assimilate and "just be American" and how she learned about her Chicano heritage through gangs. She also talks about how it's unfortunate that Chicano culture has been associated with gangs in the past, but she's glad that it's now becoming more mainstream and accepted.
Marina also shares how she faced discrimination from people telling her not to dress a certain way, but she also talks about how she shut down from going into fight mode and how she's happy that now she can wear what she wants without being judged. She encourages people to be strong enough to embrace who they are and dress how they feel inclined to dress.
Don't miss out on this powerful conversation; tune in to the Tragedy Academy Podcast and listen to Marina's story of embracing her Chicana identity. #Chicana #identity #pride"
