Lost in translation: growing up Latin-ish
Izzy (L) and Diego Villarroel (R) are both children of the children of the Latin diaspora.
Radioactive’s Diego Villarroel and Izzy discuss the complexities of ethnic and cultural identity, speaking from their own experiences as a part of the latinx community. Neither of them learned Spanish growing up, and they share how intimidating it can feel to discover their cultures as young adults.
Music: "Thahanam Adaraye" by Sanath Nandasiri
