"I Don't Look Latina... But I Am" - The Identity Struggle No One Talks About [EN]

Episode 6 | What does it actually mean to be Latina—and who gets to decide? In this episode of More Than Tequila, Prof. Juan Carlos Rocha Osornio sits down with UofT professor Paula Karger to explore the gap between identity and perception. Having lived between Argentina, Romania, and Canada, Paula shares how her global upbringing shaped a complex sense of belonging—one that doesn’t always match how others see her. From stereotypes about appearance to navigating language and culture, this conversation breaks down the assumptions behind labels and reveals how identity is far more layered than it seems.
