"In the interview with Sam, she talked about the experiences she’s had as the child of immigrants from the Dominican Republic and self-identifying as Dominican-American. As the interview progressed, the topic of family became more prevalent and Sam focused in on the contrasts between her life at home, where they watch Spanish-language television and her parents work long days and her experiences at college. She talked about the beauty standards of Dominican womanhood, and her relationship with her mother.
