first-gen guilt, and prioritizing your needs Ft. Leo Gonzalez
this one is for everyone that knows the crushing guilt of going somewhere new or eating at a fancy restaurant and being heartbroken your parents have never experienced it. when classmates were talking about their lawyer or doctor parents, and feeling ashamed to say what your mom or dad did for a living, even if they were the hardest working people you knew. for those who carry the weight of their family with them everywhere they go. we chatted with Biyeni, a first-gen student, as well as Leo Gonzalez to hear about what it’s like growing up as a first generation American.
