Julissa Arce, Mexican-American author, brings book to Sacramento [Video]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — As we continue to celebrate diversity within our communities, intersectionality and multicultural experiences are becoming key topics of discussion. Nearly 600,000 Hispanic and Latino people live in the Sacramento region, according to the 2023 State of Hispanics report by the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Those key topics are also explored in bestselling Mexican-American author Julissa Arce‘s latest book, “You Sound Like a White Girl.” In her book, Arce blends her journey with sharp cultural commentary to challenge the idea assimilation leads to happiness and belonging for immigrants in America.

Recently, Sacramento-based nonprofit Youth Development Network raised funds to bring the author and speaker to American River College as she shared insights from her latest book while discussing what it means to be Latino in America today.
