As a Hispanic, I had a blast reading this. Her humor and Spanglish going around made it funny. I am glad I understand her sense of humor and anger. Gurbas style of writing is something I got to read for the first time. She does well to show her frustration, which I don’t blame her, towards the white privilege. In her ongoing review on Cummins was straight going at her which made it 10x funny and entertaining to read. Overall, I like that she made sure to speak up for my people. I don’t find it okay for an author like Cummins to publicize her book which carries stereotypes and making money off it.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
