"Why is being Mexican special on her, but bad on me?"- Yule

I have never related to a 60-second video as much as I did when I first watched Yule's Tiktok. Growing up as a Mexican American, I always felt that I could never fulfill the expectations placed on me by my family, friends, and greater society. I was a gordita, brown, with big lips, a big nose, and a bigger pansa. My family shamed me for my appearance disguised as advice or encouragement. My hairy arms and legs were a spectacle to all the other boys and girls in my gym class. On television, I was shown images of sexy, voluptuous (in all the right places), skinny, light-skinned Latinas. Everything that I wasn't and probably would never achieve. Not only are we fighting the unrealistic depictions of us in mainstream media, but we are battling cultural expectations placed upon us.

Here's Why Elena Alvarez's Queer Identity Is So Important For The Latinx Community on 'One Day at a Time'

Elena Alvarez on 'One Day at a Time' brings much-needed representation to TV as a queer Latina. Here's why that's so important.

During a time where Latinx people are gaining traction in television and politics, it is refreshing to see an openly queer teenage girl in a daytime television show. Coming out as a queer person in Latinx families with oftentimes deep religious times can be do or die for some, and to see a family rally behind and in support of Elena is a beautiful and important thing to watch unfold!

Ashanti thank you for walking on the front lines with us Queen! #Repost @ashanti The energy is just different. I’ve never protested before nor did I think I would ever have to.... we’ve seen the movies we’ve read the books. I come from a family devoted to making change. My grandfather James Davis walked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in Montgomery Alabama in 1965, and here we are in 2020 fighting the same fight all over the world. The energy is shifting tho. It feels different this time. Enough is Enough. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #Repost #Ashanti ##BlackLivesMatter #BLM #BlackMen #BlackMan #BlackIsBeautiful #Love #LoveYourself #BrownAndProud #Black #LuckyChurch #ImBlackAndImProud #BlackPride #BuyBlack #SelfLove #ILoveYou #SupportBlackBusiness #Brothers #Family #MyBrothersKeeper @blmgreaterny @hawk.newsome (at Black Lives Matters) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMDjVtgg1O/?igshid=3v99652uwg8l
