Go ahead, call me "anchor baby." I won't complain. To the contrary. I wear the label with pride.

That's how it works, baby. That's how it has always worked. Children help anchor a family and community. Anchors are stable, strong, holding a ship steady during storms, in rough seas and swelling tides.

I proudly embrace “anchor baby” as a term of resilience and empowerment. My parents raised me to be strong and proud of our culture, regardless of what names we are called. And I'm carrying this inheritance forward. My journey is a testament to the resilience, hope and determination that define our community. I owe my success to the journey my parents made. As we all do. Everyone came here from somewhere. And there has never been a right way to do it. But here we are, anchored to the same ship.

Throughout history, people have disempowered and reclaimed derogatory terms, turning them into emblems of pride and resilience. For me, I claim "anchor baby" as my badge of honor. I hope that others find empowerment in their identities and that we all stand strong together.
