The past few weeks So to Speak has devoted the blog to “Hispanic Heritage Month,” the official national recognition and celebration of the contributions made by generations of Latino/Hispanic Americans in the United States.

To close So to Speak’s “Hispanic Heritage Month”-themed series, we invited Huerta, a doctoral candidate in English at the University of California, Berkeley, to share with us what feminism looks like to a brown male poet in 2013.

So to Speak is accepting submissions for the Spring 2014 issue until October 15th. 

We recently introduced you to Frances E. Valdez, an attorney and DREAM Act activist based in Houston, Texas.

Chicana Frances E. Valdez views her feminism as self-evident in the work she does as an attorney, activist, and philanthropist—and I couldn’t agree more.

We continue our conversation with Cuban-American professor and author Elizabeth Huergo.
