  A quote from author Michelle M. Serros’ poem, Mi Problema: “My sincerity isn’t good enough. Eyebrows raise when I request: ‘Hable más despacio, por favor.’ My skin is brown just like theirs, but now I’m unworthy of the color ‘cause I don’t speak (the language) the way I should. Then they laugh and talk about mi problema in the language I stumbled over.”
