Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day.
Today commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Today we celebrate Mexican resistance to foreign powers and Mexican culture/heritage.
Feel so blessed to be Latina. Amo mi cultura, my people, la raza. I love being Mexican American. So proud to have been raised in a border town, so in touch with the culture and essence of what it means to be Latino. ¡Que viva México cabrones!
