Hi, my name is J. and I’m a Mexican@ American@. Today I graduated and got my BA in Sociology at a uni. in California, thanks to the support from mi mama y papa, who didn’t get the chance to go to Uni, High school, or middle school because of their rural hometowns. Just wanted to tell all the Latin@s that even if shit seems tough, most of the time you can manage to get through it because the ultimate goal is to play and beat the system to change it from within ❤

Hey my name is Pamela, I’m 21, and I was born and raised in New York City to Dominican and Ecuadorian immigrant parents. I just graduated from Yale University with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies and will be going back to get my master’s degree at Yale FES :)
Hi! I’m Solange. I’m 21 year old half Puerto Rican and half Filipina feminist. I was born in San Fran and moved to NYC, where I’ve been living for the past 18 years. I’m graduating from Queens College next Thursday with a double B.A. in Media and Film Studies. My goal in life is to one day become a professor and teach Gender and Sexuality in the Media. Also, I have a really cute boyfriend who’s a blend of European nations, and he loves my passion when I talk about feminism and ethnicity :3
My name is Ashley and I’m 19, born and raised in Long Beach, California to my immigrant Mexican father and white mother. Currently living on the east coast going to college/figuring out what the hell I’m doing with my life.
I finally got the courage to submit hehe~ My name is Patty. I was born to two Mexican immigrants from Nayarit and Aguascalientes. I am 22 years old and I just got my Bachelors in anthropology! I’m still hoping to get accepted into Cal State Long Beach’s Master’s program (fingers crossed!!!).
Congrats to all of you who graduated this year or have been accepted into a university or graduate program!
we agree!
Although those statistics are a bit sad, I absolutely love reading about what our beautiful Latina followers are studying and their academic achievements! Much love to our amazing Latin@s in higher education beating the odds <3

RTLT: very cool! keep sharing selfies and taking back your tag!
Whenever RTLT is doing one of our “Bomb the Latina tag specials” I like to peak over at the tag to see how it’s going and I found this gem. BEST.
Help us continue taking back our tag! I love seeing random stuff like this in #latina. I also think this is a great way for our non-Latina followers to help our cause! Tag your random posts as Latina!
Karina. 20.
Born in the U.S but raised by my abuelitos in San Luis Potosi Mexico for 9 years. Both my parents are from Mexico and I moved back to the states when I was 10, so i feel a bit ignorant about some things that are part of mi cultura, and i’m trying to fix that. I’m a History and Chican@ Studies double major and I’m hoping all the reading imma have to do doesn’t kill me. :’)
