For the longest time, I strug
gled with my Hispanic identity.
I was constantly worried about
being too American to call my
self Hispanic, but still too His
panic to call myself an Amer
ican. I had become trapped
in the idea that there was one
ideal of what someone who was
Hispanic or American is “sup
posed” to look like, without re
alizing I could be both.
IVe grown up with people
telling me I don’t seem Hispan
ic because I don’t have an accent
or told to play different music
because Marc Anthony and
Prince Royce were too “Latin.”
I grew up hiding that I admired
authors such as Gabriel Garcia
Marquez and Isabel Allende
over Ernest Hemingway or F.
Scott Fitzgerald. I went through
a majority of my life suppressing
the Venezuelan parts of myself.
It wasn’t until coming to Elon
University that I learned to ap
preciate what made me unique
and embraced my own culture
of being Venezuelan-American.
The United States used to
be a place where different cul
tures were welcomed instead
of “othered.” With the current
administration, immigrants
are brought up with a usually
negative connotation. Hispanic
immigrants especially tend to
be lumped together as crimi
nals, drug lords or called illegal,
despite the fact this nation was
founded by immigrants. People

eitlier forget or choose to ig
nore that there are more than
30 countries represented in the
Latino/Hispanic community
in the United States brimming
with rich and beautiful culture.
But if there’s one thing Hispan-
ics are, it’s stubborn. And we
refuse to be pushed aside or
forgotten.
With this edition of The Pen
dulum, we hope to give a voice
to a community t|,„
always get the spofc
