Voices of Lawrence

Hispanic Heritage

Honoring and celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month one voice at a time.

Honrando y celebrando el Mes de la Herencia Hispana una voz a la vez. 

“It was very hard to see that my business was failing, but I couldn't give up.”

 

“We come from two very different countries.”

 

“I am half White, half Mexican and it’s a strange dichotomy to be in that position.”

 

"I didn’t feel like had much exposure to my own culture, to my roots, other than from family."

 

“Dancing makes us feel good, especially when we look at the audience smiling and clapping.”

 

"This kid in class saw my body hair and said I looked like a monkey because I have too much body hair."

 

“I like all that stuff to instill in my children the traditions I grew up with."

 

“There is so much that I miss. I have not been back in twenty years."

 

“If you go to a new Latin restaurant, try something new. What if it becomes your new go to order?"
