Hispanic Heritage Month: Why I Don't Like It

Episode Summary

Hispanic Heritage Month is set to begin on September 15, as it does every year, and it runs till October 15. This month is an opportunity to uplift the Latine community in America and celebrate our cultures. At the same time, many find it odd that the month is split between two months, and many- including myself- take issue with the word "hispanic." In this episode, I take a deep dive into the history of this month and that word.
