What I love about being Latina: The glow of my skin, the shape of my body, the value in la familia, the traditions that flow through mi sangre
What I love about being Americana: the opportunities that are presented to me every day of my life
My biggest challenge in growing up Latina in America: overcoming cultural traditions and pursuing my dream
My biggest support in growing up Latina in America: Latina role models who communicated great inspiration through the examples of their own lives
Why I am beautiful: because God made me in His image alone, with every curve, with every strength of being a woman, and blessed me with a Light to shine before others.
