You didn’t choose to be the translator or interpreter. You became the bridge.
You know how systems work because you’ve been reading between the lines for years. Now you use that skill on purpose. At the tenant meeting. At the school board. At the counter when someone’s landlord “forgot” to send the notice in Spanish.
You’re not just bilingual. You’re the reason someone else in this community gets a straight answer today.
That’s not a small thing. That’s how a community holds power accountable.
