Part 2: Proud to Be an (Latinx) American? (ft. Brian De Los Santos)

<p>This week, we continue our "Proud to Be an American?" series. We're talking to <a href="https://twitter.com/bdelossantos1?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Brian De Los Santos</a>, digital strategist at the Desert Sun and the West Coast social lead for the USA Today Network, about his Latinx experience. We’re talking about the ways he engages pride, patriotism, and simply existing as Americans.</p><p>He talks to us about his experience as an undocumented American, the push and pull some Latinx Americans feel/face in terms of being viewed as "American" enough and the way his parent's generation experienced American patriotism differs from his own understanding of the country that he calls home.</p><p>Plus, we'll hear from other listeners within the Latinx community who tell us about their own unique experiences with American pride.</p><p><strong>EPISODE NOTES</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-daca-essay-20171005-htmlstory.html"><i><strong>READ Brian De Los Santos’s piece in The Los Angeles Times: </strong></i><strong>I was 9 when my parents told me I was undocumented.
