1 Identify the needs and challenges of the communities you serve

One of the first steps to using your bilingual skills to advocate for social justice and equity is to understand the needs and challenges of the communities you serve. Whether you work with refugees, immigrants, minorities, or marginalized groups, you need to be aware of their cultural backgrounds, histories, and experiences. You also need to be sensitive to their preferences, expectations, and goals. By doing so, you can build trust and rapport with them, and provide them with relevant and appropriate information and services.

I think communication is the key. I love talking to people and learning about their different stories, backgrounds, the challenges they had to overcome, how did they manage, and so on and so forth. That is why I have built an amazing net among women in the UK. I want to help them to speak out, I want the world to know their stories and keep the net growing, I want to bring awareness and empathy to the world. I want everyone to understand that there are different realities, and that all of us can contribute to make a difference.

2 Translate and interpret accurately and ethically

Another way to use your bilingual skills to advocate for social justice and equity is to translate and interpret accurately and ethically. Translation and interpretation are not just about converting words from one language to another. They are also about conveying the meaning, tone, and intention of the original message. You need to be careful not to distort, omit, or add anything that might change the message or affect the rights of the people you serve. You also need to respect the confidentiality and privacy of the people you serve, and avoid any conflicts of interest or bias.

You can also use your bilingual skills to provide resources, referrals, or guidance to the people you serve, and help them access the opportunities and services they need.

In my experience, I love raising awareness by sending a clear and emphatic message through my articles. I write about Latin American Women living in the UK, not only because I am a Latin American woman living in the UK, but also because I emphasise and I live in my flesh and blood the challenges, the discrimination, and the violence of the patriarchy over women. I want people, not only women -since we already know- to be aware of what is going on with us, how tough it is, and how unfair and painful life can be when we do not have the same culture, language, or even the same rights. I strongly believe in social justice, it is indeed a passion of mine, and I love contributing and trying to support in every way I can.

6 Celebrate and embrace your bilingual identity and culture

A sixth way to use your bilingual skills to advocate for social justice and equity is to celebrate and embrace your bilingual identity and culture. Being bilingual is not only a skill, but also a source of pride, joy, and belonging. You can use your bilingual skills to express yourself, share your culture, and connect with others who speak your languages. You can also use your bilingual skills to challenge stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination that you or others may face because of your languages. By doing so, you can affirm your identity, value your culture, and respect the diversity of others.

We all have to be proud of who we are, the challenges that we had to face and own it. I am proud of who I am, and where I come from. I have to confess that I tried to adapt myself to the UK, to their culture a bit too much because I needed to feel like I belong somewhere, but the truth is, our roots are something to be proud of and celebrate and share with the world. Once I started talking about Latin America, sharing my own stories, making jokes about the prejudices and discrimination that I faced, I released the pressure and helped to raise awareness. Nowadays, I do not pretend to be someone who I am not, but on the contrary, I proudly say I am Latin American and I am indeed more passionate, a survivor, and a fighter.
