I was born in Laurel, Mississippi. My origins trace back to a place in Mexico that many have never heard of, a land rich in culture and color, but burdened by poverty. It is a place where unity and kindness thrive despite hardships. Both of my parents grew up there with very little. My father didn't even have the privilege of wearing shoes to school.
Yet their childhood was enriched with love, resilience, and happy memories. Dreams were a luxury nobody they knew could afford. Although they never finished middle school, a part of them felt as if they did. The part of them that never dared to dream, but still hoped for a better life for their children.
