Although Maddie is a third-generation Spanish immigrant, she is only Latina by heart. She is, however, a full-time single mom to a first-generation Mexican American daughter. Maddie is honored to have been invited to write for Latina Mom Collective, and appreciates that the community is also inclusive of all moms raising Latinx children. She hopes to share her experiences raising a daughter who is proud to be Mexican and loves her culture. When she's not busy surviving her daughter's tween years, you can find her reading. This former Spanish teacher's other favorites include: coffee, Harry Potter, cats, fighting the patriarchy, scuba diving, skincare, trying to secretly adopt all the cats, and always advocating for inclusion and representation.
