Is there a difference between the three terms Latino, Hispanic, and LatinX? Why are there so many different options to describe the same group of people, and which one should we use? Even for a Latina, Puerto Rican Muslim like myself, it gets a bit confusing.

And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them… (Qur’an, 14:4)

“Poetry is miraculous. I believe it emerges from deep within the soul,

 inspired by the Heavenly Divine and our worldly experiences in this life.”

I loved the Berenstain Bears book series as a child. There are still stray copies in my parents’ basement, which I read to my son on our visits.
