Takeaway:
Rebeca [Lane] really touched me with the way she spoke about the dichotomy between hating the patriarchial community around her and her strong connection to her Guatemalan roots. I think that feeling transcends culture, and Rebeca put it so eloquently in the context of Guatemala's political landscape and Central America's hip-hop industry. It’s easy to go to a different country and to make a quick judgment of its culture and social norms, but Rebeca challenged me to examine my own society.
