Spanish may the tie that binds, but its use in America is slowly dying from one generation to the next.

Chicago radio personality Paulina Roe is fighting to reverse that trend.

"I am a 'no sabo' mom, is what I call myself," said Roe. "And I'm saying that, because I want to reclaim that term."

"No Sabo" is the equivalent of saying "me don't know" in Spanish. More than a grammatical mistake, it has become a reference to the insecurity that a lot of second-generation American Latinos carry with them.

"I used to feel so ashamed and just so guilty," said Roe. "And then I realized, this is who I am."
