The outspoken 90 Day Fiancé star, Jasmine Pineda, has once again sparked a conversation among her followers after sharing her honest thoughts on motherhood and the cultural differences between Panama and the United States. In a heartfelt statement, Jasmine revealed that she feels a sense of relief regarding the timing of her children’s arrival in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of their Latin American roots.
The strength of Panamanian foundations
Jasmine didn’t hold back when comparing the upbringing of children in different environments. According to the TV star, having her children grow up in Panama first was a conscious blessing.
«I’ll be honest: I’m happy my children are joining us in the United States not as small kids but as teenagers,» she confessed.
For Jasmine, the «solid Panamanian foundation of morals and values» her children acquired back home is priceless. She expressed concern over the «scary stories» she reads daily about parenting in the U.S., stating firmly that she wouldn’t trade her children’s upbringing for anything in the world.
Latin culture vs. the world
As an influencer, Jasmine feels it is her responsibility to highlight the «community, warmth, and presence» that characterizes raising children in Latin America. She described the difference in social closeness as «day and night,» noting that in many places today, that sense of communal love feels like it’s fading.
Dealing with «Hate» the Latino way
Jasmine also addressed the constant flow of negative comments she receives on social media. Instead of letting the toxicity affect her, she leans on her cultural background to stay grounded.
«When I get hate comments, I pause… I think about the things I grew up with that will never make me that unhappy,» she shared.
Rather than responding with anger, she chooses to «say a little prayer» for her detractors, attributing her resilience and warmth to her Latino heritage.
