How Has Spanish Played a Role in Your Personal and Professional Life?

I am an immigrant from Uruguay who moved to this country at the age of 5. I have struggled to maintain my Spanish after graduating from English only education. I am now trying to change that trajectory for the children in my own family, Latinx families and marginalized communities who can embrace becoming or maintaining their multilingualism.
