I am Caribeña, island grown. Spanish is in my flesh,

ripples from my tongue, lodges in my hips:
the language of garlic and mangoes,
the singing in my poetry, the flying gestures of my hands.

Based on the imagery in the passage, how does the speaker feel when she is speaking Spanish?
different from other Americans
proud and expressive
homesick for her home country
displaced in America
