Hilaria Baldwin is apologizing for not being clearer about her cultural identity a month after social media users accused her of pretending to be Spanish even though she was born in Boston.
After responding to the controversy in an Instagram video last December, Baldwin returned to the social media site on Friday to say she s spent the last month listening, reflecting, and asking myself how I can learn and grow.
Though she reiterated she was raised with both American and Spanish cultures and feels a true sense of belonging to both, she added that the way I’ve spoken about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained.
Duel? OR, have you ever seen the film
I ask two questions because there s a 27-year separation between the former s 1974 broadcast and the latter s 2001 release, but their storylines are very similar. Both are also very good, although I d give the edge to Duel.
Both are about motorists who are terrorized by unseen assailants in great big semis as they travel cross-country. Both are wildly intense and packed with thrills.
On a couple of recent occasions, on my way home from work, I have gotten in front of a truck could be more than one; could be the SAME one that proudly beams its xenon or LED headlights for all to see. And if ALL were on the moon, they could still see them. My point being, they were close enough that I just couldn t see anything because of the intense reflection from my mirrors.

Oprah Winfrey took to social media over the weekend to mark 35 years since the release of The Color Purple.
The Steven Spielberg-directed film, in which the star played abused wife Sofia who finally stands up to her husband, scored Winfrey her first Oscar nomination.
Marking the anniversary, the media mogul reflected on how she came to land the role, as she shared two video clips - one from the movie, which also starred Whoopi Goldberg, and one from her hit talk show. 35 years ago today, #TheColorPurple premiered. I’ve never wanted anything in my life more than I wanted to be in that movie, Winfrey wrote.
12 shares When I read the book the first time, I bought copies to hand them out to people. I told everyone I wanted to be in the movie. It was that deep. And one faithful morning, @quincyjones saw me on AM Chicago, said I should audition, and the rest is movie history! she continued. So here’s to the powerful messages I still carry from that movie. And for all the moviegoers who still recite this scene to me until this day!
