With last week's premiere of Selena, The Series on Netflix, I was reminded of the immense Spanglish subculture that exists within the Latinx community and how there's a lot of debate on whether or not Spanglish is an "acceptable" form of communication. The verdict might be still be out on that, but one thing is certain, much like Selena Quintanilla, el Spanglish is here to stay.
Helping me explore this topic is my friend, Sonia Alejandra Saunders, founder of Mujerón Movement, A judgment-free women’s empowerment community where EXTRAORDINARY Latina women come together in search for self growth, regardless of their language preference.
