Language & Region controls Martha Sayers' openness to engaging with perspectives native to someone else's lived experience. At five years old, Martha was curious rather than judgmental about Margarita Sames' glamorous lifestyle that was completely foreign to her family's down-to-earth culture. Instead of rejecting Margarita's bold makeup routines and fashionable presentation as wrong or inappropriate, Martha absorbed these differences with fascination. She allowed herself to learn from someone who operated from an entirely different cultural framework about femininity and self-presentation.
