"Hispanic Heritage Month is where we as individuals come together to remember how important our culture is and share our history and traditions. As an immigrant myself, I had the opportunity to be able to see more people with similar backgrounds as myself and were able to come together and learn from each other.

This brings the best qualities of the Latinx community and showcases how we are all unique and beautiful in our own ways."
