Prioritize peace of mind young Chicana

Joceline Marrufo,

I find that many young Latina women often are belittled with comments regarding their IQ and financial state. I am of Mexican heritage and I share this experience as well. My advice to other women who can relate to this type of situation in their daily lives is to let go of the feeling of needing to prove your worth and abilities to the general public. Instead, focus on your inner growth and advancement in life with as little stress as possible.
