If you aren't as hip and cool as these three hermanas, you may not have heard of Among Us. The game sweeping across the global ~youths~. It's a game where everyone is repairing a ship, but there is an imposter who is secretly murdering the crew. The goal is to find the imposter. We have been having a great time with it (Gabby is a bit too excited to play a murderer)!
However, this game has made us confront the ways we can feel like an ~imposter~. Latinas and other POCs tend to feel like they don't belong in whatever field they are in. Oftentimes, that is because it wasn't built for us, but you CAN make it your own. Diana has nearly always worked in labs with no other underrepresented minorities. Education seems to work to push out talented students. On top of systemic racism (YUCK), we can be our own hater and will downplay our own success.
Our main takeaways?
You are THAT bitch, always!
Learning doesn't mean you're not capable (actually the opposite)
lastly, echale ganas and ponte las pilas! Which is all to say, get to work!
