I, among many others, have been raised in a Latin American country. Whether you were born there or not, being raised in this environment creates certain ideals and perspectives that seem like superpowers to some. If you grew up in the Caribbean, Central or South America, you are most likely to be aware of these abilities that I'm pretty sure only Latino women have. To be honest, I feel like we were blessed with them.
1. We can tell when someone is lying without even trying.
It's like you're a mind reader and you know exactly what someone is going to say.
2. Let's all face it, we've all had a Sofia Vergara accent at some point.
And forgetting words of the English language is part of the package.
3. Sass is our middle name.
End of discussion.
4. And we're really stubborn.
That's because we know we're always right.
5. When we're good, we're the best. But when we're bad, we're the worst.
It's easier to have us on the nice side.
6. One drink is never enough.
It's only a warm up.
7. We're not afraid of saying things the way they are.
Because if we don't tell the truth, then who will?
8. Confidence is never an issue.
We know we look good.
9. When we get hungry, we get HUNGRY.
And we do sometimes get aggressive when someone tries to eat our food.
10. We make the best best friends.
Because we'd kill for the people we love.
11. Dancing is our gift.
Some of us are not good dancers, but if I know something for a fact is that when a good reggeaton song comes up, we are going to turn up (even if we claim to hate reggeaton)
12. We are proud.
We got the gift of being Latinas. Who wouldn't be proud?
