| Privilege by Teresa Rodriguez
Created July 2008; Watsonville, CA
Teresa works on issues of bilingual education in Watsonville, California. She reflects on her own relative privilege as a Latina, by describing her early life as the daughter of the manager of field workers at a local farm. Tell us a bit about yourself? I am a Mexican immigrant brought to the U.S. at the age of 3. I lived in a migrant labor camp for 9 years of my life after my arrival. Why did you choose this story to tell? I decided to tell this story to "expose" the perceived abuse of my family by the rancher who employed my parents. How do you think you have changed as a result of making or telling this story? I have let go of the anger toward the rancher and instead found the true meaning of my life on that ranch. This has brought me a great deal of peace and joy. |
