From the desk of Denise Soler Cox, Denver, CO
Hello Friend,
In 1996, I was living in Miami, Florida.
One night I was out in North Miami Beach having drinks with some of my Latino friends and I made a discovery that would change my life forever…
You see, until that night I thought there was something inherently wrong with me.
Fact is, I grew up feeling like I was never Puerto Rican enough and I wasn’t American enough.
I felt embarrassed and ashamed because my Spanish wasn’t good enough...
It pissed me off that people thought it was ok to literally pat my highly educated mom on the head and tell her “What a cute accent you have”…
I resented being told I wasn’t really Puerto Rican because I wasn’t born on the island.
Here’s why that night in Miami was so mind blowing for me…
We shared stories that were funny, meaningful, painful and I realized for the first time in my life I wasn’t alone…
I was hearing other Latinos sharing honest experiences that mirrored my own…
...feeling guilty because they couldn't check every box on the "real" Latino scale...…
...feeling different because they didn't fit into mainstream culture.
What's my reason for sharing that story:
Well, the first reason is:
I want you to know you’re not alone.
Just the simple knowledge of knowing other people were wrestling with the same challenges takes a lot of the sting out of the painful experiences of not feeling good enough.
And the second is…
If you want to get down to the root cause of this internal conflict and understand the secret for why you feel different, here it is
You’ve grown up with competing value systems.
And those competing value systems are the reason you feel trapped in what I call
“The Crunch.”
I know this might sound like a complicated, intellectual theory, but it’s not.
It’s simple, profound, and transformational.

You know what "The Crunch" feels like…

If you feel guilty when you go against family expectations and do something for yourself.

If you feel ashamed you’re not 100% fluent in Spanish.

If you feel embarrassed when you're told you're acting "too white."

If you feel insecure about bringing your full Latinidad into your workplace.
This single concept is the key to understanding yourself as a bi-cultural being…
...and it’s vital to your ability to heal your emotional wounds around not being a “Good Latino.”
So right now the BIG question you’re probably thinking is
“HOW do I get out of The Crunch?”
The best place to start is my
Embrace Your Latinidad™
program

What you’ll discover in Embrace Your Latindad™ isn’t advice.
It’s a prescription to get clarity on all the feelings you’ve been unable to put into words your whole life…
Embrace Your Latinidad™ is made up of 7 professionally recorded lessons, each covering a crucial aspect of Latino culture…
Embrace Your Latinidad™ is a digital course you can do at your own pace (even with a friend) with exercises that are designed to get you thinking about yourself and your beliefs so you can see things from different angles and avoid letting your past rule your present.
Finally Be Able To Put Your Feelings Into Words
If you want to solve a problem, being able to talk about it with clarity is a very important thing.
The biggest problem for eñyes is you're not really sure how to describe what’s wrong.
You know you feel different and something needs to change, but you’re not really sure what to change or how.
The cure is not beating yourself up or pointing fingers saying “I’m too much for everybody.”
The solution is simple: Understand "The Crunch."
When you understand The Crunch, you’ll stop feeling like you don’t fit in.
You’ll start understanding how to connect with both sides of yourself.
Here’s why this is so important:
How could you ever fully experience and fully contribute to any environment if you have a deep -seated belief that you don’t belong?
• THINK about how much better your relationship with your kids could be.
• THINK about how empowered you could be at work.
• And THINK about the profound sense of connection you could have with yourself and your culture
And believe me, life is a WHOLE LOT easier (a whole lot more authentic) when you have the ability to understand and share why you feel the way you feel.
Healing Through a Cultural Lens
I’m not a professor or an academic who uses data points to talk about the Latino/a/x experience.
I’m a full-time Latina mother, wife, filmmaker, podcaster and speaker who has spent almost a decade having rich, candid, and authentic conversations with thousands of Latinos sharing their experiences of feeling like they're stuck between two worlds…
In fact, even though I’m not an academic, the Harvard School of Education has been using my film being eñye to teach a popular class on personal narrative.
And a think tank in the Netherlands has asked for my help in creating a global curriculum for belonging.
I tell you this not to brag, but to reassure you that when I give you my guidance and perspective on how to heal from your past wounds… I'm speaking from real world experience.
I’ve done everything I’m sharing with you… I’ve spent years and tons of frequent flyer miles witnessing first hand how these 7 lessons can change the way you see yourself…(which changes EVERYTHING!)
...and I have no fear of sounding like I’m exaggerating when I tell you these 7 lessons can transform your life.
Now, I’ve condensed my expert experience into an easy to follow digital program,
Embrace Your Latinidad™
About Denise Soler Cox
Growing up Latina in the suburbs of Manhattan was amazing and at times a lonely experience for me. I didn’t feel Latina enough for my Puerto Rican family and I never felt American enough for the mainstream culture I grew up in – Westchester County, NY. I never shared how I felt with anyone and sincerely believed this narrative was all my own.
When I was 26, I experienced an “aha moment” where I realized that I was not alone. I belonged to a group of 16 million Latinos who were born in the US but who had parents from Spanish speaking countries. (I later found out we were referred to as “eñye’s”.) I had a BIG idea that night that I believed could change the way that Latinos saw themselves in the world and I knew it was powerful because of how it changed me. I felt deeply connected and part of something in a way I’d never known and I wanted to share that feeling with the world. Everyone deserves to feel like they belong!
Four years ago I made the movie being eñye with the the sole purpose of creating a powerful community around this identity. I wanted to validate this experience in a way that had not been done before.
After two straight years on the road and countless screenings from school cafeterias to board rooms in Fortune 500 companies, I expereinced a personal transformation including a radical self acceptance that I'd never known. This happened to me while being in community with other Latinos from all walks of life and in all areas of the country.

Embrace Your Latinidad™
At first, I was surprised at how hungry Latinos were for this conversation.
I can honestly tell you...I’m not surprised anymore.
Why?
Because after having thousands of conversations with other Latinos/as/xs - I know first hand how strong the need and desire is for you to connect with your culture in a way that leaves you feeling good about yourself.
True Story: I spoke at an event in NY. Following the event a very successful man waited for over an hour to share his story with me.
Through tear-filled eyes he shared how at 10 years old he started feeling like he didn’t fit-in as Latino or as an American and he'd struggled with those feelings for over 40 years.
Our most URGENT need as humans is to belong.
Embrace Your Latinidad™ will open your eyes to a fresh perspective about finding and building connection with your culture.
I want you to feel like you can create a second life for yourself - a life where instead of feeling like you have a split identity...
...you feel confident knowing being yourself is ENOUGH...
...and you belong because of who YOU are!
