                                                  My Name Is Lili


                                                  I am Guatemalan. I am Chinese.
                                                  I live in Los Angeles.
                                                  I am Latina.



                                                  My Name Is

                                                  Michiko



                                                  I am Peruvian. I am Japanese,
                                                  a sansei.

                                                  I live in Los Angeles.
                                                  I am Latina.





                                                   I’m used to the expressions
                                                 1
                                                   of surprise and wonder
                                                   the first time people hear me

                                                   speaking Spanish.
                                                 5  They often make comments like,
                                                   “For you Chinese people,
                                                   learning languages must be easy.”
                                                   Sometimes I get tired of explaining

                                                   that while it’s true
                                                10  I’m Chinese,
                                                   it’s also true I’m a Latina,
                                                   a Latin American, a Guatemalan.
                                                   It’s nice when I don’t have to explain.
