One afternoon in 1976, I said two words that changed how my entire family looked at me: “no sabo.” They laughed at me. They called us “los gringuitos.” And for years, I carried the shame of not speaking Spanish well enough.
If you grew up in the U.S. and felt caught between languages or cultures, this story might be yours too. Being a “N...
