#latinimmigrant

When people ask if it is difficult to live in a different country other than your "own", I respond yes, of course; when they also ask if I will return to Mexico, my response is maybe or I don't know. Why? Because,  personally, I have found the immigrant experience very rewarding. I was born in a land of contrasts, a land where beauty and ugliness constantly clash, where injustice and struggle interact day by day; a land that I will never keep out of my head.

I studied law to understand these contrasts and it has been a long journey, one that has led me to be in this northern land. After twenty-eight years of living in Mexico, my partner and I moved to the United States, not to flee from despair, rather to find a place to ask more questions. Here, I have found that I am not the only one, there are more Samanthas asking questions, getting answers.
