The development of the U.S. has always fallen back on the hard labor of minority communities, lacking in providing them opportunities to progress through a society that's now navigated through technology more than ever. These families find their way above the divide.
Above the Divide
Whether it be the inability to find jobs that are not physically demanding or improving their current businesses, the difficulty of keeping up with their children’s performance in school, or helping them with digital homework, Mexican American families understand the importance of having technological knowledge when seeking greater opportunities in the United States. Fortunately, through our desire to learn, we realize the power of our identities and use them to find resources or opportunities that help our communities grow. The visibility of telling these stories can empower Latinx youth and their families who wish to break away from common cycles perpetuated by systemic oppression.
