Description

Not to get all existentialist, but there comes a time in everyone's life when you ask yourself "who am I?" The matter becomes even more complicated when people around you start asking "what are you?" To launch the series, Estefania and Valerie get right into the identity struggles of being Latinas who have to deal with the complexities of simultaneously living within multiple cultures.
