Menlo Park, CA.

I’m a brown typically Hispanic looking upper middle class woman living in an affluent suburb of San Francisco. I’ve allways had a hard time fitting in because I was raised in “white” neighborhoods and went to elite and desirable schools. My third child is fair and people in the street or grocery including other Hispanics assume I am her nanny-stereotypes of nationality and socio economic class are alive and we’ll and thriving in a Silicon Valley
