Bianetth Valdez was born and raised in Texas, straddling two cultures. As a Latina, she grew up believing that being a mother was what was expected of her, and she didn’t give it a second thought. But when she turned 25 she started to encounter women who were living fulfilling lives without kids, and she started questioning what she wanted for herself.
In this episode, Bianetth shares what it was like for her to grapple with the decision to have kids as a bicultural woman, and how claiming an identity in two different cultures can add an extra layer of pressure.
