Therapists (and real-life friends) Lina Guerrero, MPA, LCSW, LCDC, and Claudia Hernandez Vargas, LCSW sit down for a conversation about what it actually means to be Mexican — as women, as clinicians, and as descendants of both the colonized and the colonizers.
They trace how "first-gen" status, colorism, indigenous ancestry, assimilation, and generational privilege show up in their families, their names, and their own sense of belonging — and get into the grief (and the joy) that comes with exploring where you're from.
