California » Mexico

A story from Bordr Stories tool

I have crossed this border physically several times, but I have also crossed it psychically as my grandparents are Mexican and I grew up in California. After reading Gloria Anzaldua's "Borderlands" I felt like I had more of a right to own my internal border and be Chicana.
