RL:You start your book by saying that you never really came out until recently and that upon reflection, you hadn't reach out as your packed self until you essentially heard the word Latinx and it basically was able to roll off your tongue. Can you talk to me a little bit about that? Why did Latinx resonate so much with you and what does it actually mean?
