Identity

Weavers of Reality

Roberto Pedro Smith Vásquez is back — and this time, he’s learning that standing up for what you believe in can be more dangerous than falling circus monkeys.

When their teacher Ms. Jackson insists that Roberto and Kiki attend a mandatory “diversity session” they’d rather skip, the two friends make a choice that sends shockwaves through Lincoln Elementary. Roberto declares “I identify as machismo,” while Kiki announces she’s a “Traditional Wife” — words that accidentally reveal feelings they’ve been hiding from themselves and each other.
