YAQUI DELGADO WANTS TO KICK YOUR ASS

A random student tells Piddy Sanchez that Yaqui Delgado is out to get her. Piddy has no idea who Yaqui is, but Yaqui apparently has quite a few problems with Piddy: Supposedly Piddy is stuck-up, shakes her stuff when she walks, and isn’t Latin enough with her white skin, good grades, and lack of accent. Roxanne Hernandez voices the personalities of the cast in a way that gives depth to the characters, especially Piddy’s mom. As Hernandez depicts how bullying can erode a person’s entire sense of self, the listener can hear Piddy losing herself a little at a time. A worthwhile listen.
