Does your family have any traditions that are especially important to you?

One of the biggest traditions in our Latinx culture is our “coming of age” celebration for young women called “Quinceneras.” This special Latinx celebration occurs when a young woman turns 15. It is usually a big family affair that celebrates our cultural values.

How has your heritage influenced the person you are today?

It is impossible to separate my heritage from who I am today. From my taste in music to the way I bond with my family, my cultural identity has completely shaped the way I see the world. It has also influenced my career choice by pushing me to succeed so that I can proudly represent my community.

How do you celebrate National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month?

During Latinx Heritage Month, my family and I take the time to celebrate our heritage through our food. We enjoy a variety of different traditional dishes that have historically been eaten throughout Mexico.
