I grew up in a working-class Latino household and have worked my share of minimum wage jobs. I mentioned warehouse and delivery because that’s the kind of work people often assume I do when I say where I work. As a first-gen, low-income Latino, I’ve constantly been underestimated because of those assumptions. The point was to push back on that and show that people from backgrounds like mine can make it into fields like software engineering. This wasn’t shade. I have nothing but respect for those doing that work ❤️It comes from pride in my roots and everything it took to get here. -
