Waking up every day in the summer to the smell of roasted crushed peppers on the molcajete filling the air and roosters screeching is what has influenced me to take such pride in where I come from.

Learning and experiencing what it was like for my parents, my grandparents, and ancestors has helped me appreciate where I come from a lot more.
