This episode is for all of the Ambi-cultural Americans trying to navigate their American and Latinx selves. Denise Soler Cox is a documentarian and co-founder of Project Enye. She travels all over the country collecting stories of first-generation Americans. In the second part of this conversation, we talk about being challenged for not being "American" enough or not being "Latinx" enough.

Learn the key differences between American and Latinx culture that are a source of internal conflict for first-generation Americans. Denise also shares why she wrote a guidebook to help the adult children of immigrants "Own Their Enye." Born in June Creative was proud to have been a part of the creation of this book!
