Explored how adult Latino/a/e/x daughters navigate traditional Latino/a/e/x cultural scripts (i.e. familismo, respeto, machismo, marianismo, religiosidad), generational trauma, and their relationship with their mothers using semi-structured interviews to collect testimonios (i.e. testimonies). This workshop aims to review the social and emotional experiences of adult Latino/a/e/x daughters’ as they navigate generational trauma, and their relationship with their mothers.
