What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you?
Hispanic heritage Month is a meaningful time for me to connect to my family’s culture and traditions. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by others before me, like my maternal grandfather, who first arrived in America through the Bracero Program. His perseverance inspires me to take pride in my roots and remain deeply grateful for the opportunities I have today, now more than ever.
