How the Burden of Trying to Be a "Dutiful Daughter" Hurts Latinas

What does it mean to be a dutiful daughter—and what does that responsibility cost Latinas in the US? In this episode, 100 Latina Birthdays, creator and editor Juleyka Lantigua speaks with social worker and Latina wellness practitioner Cynthia Alonso Perez about the cultural expectation placed on daughters to put everyone else first. They dive into their experiences as first-generation Latinas and explore guilt, motherhood, family boundaries, and the loneliness that can come with challenging long-held roles.
