As we begin to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I'd like to share a little about my heritage and how it has contributed to who I am today…
I grew up in Colombia, a country where people are warm and nurturing, We like to dance cumbia and salsa, and listen to vallenatos. When people visit Colombia, they talk about how good is the coffee and how many fruits we have.
Although I have been away from Colombia for a long time now, I still keep that essence with me. I could never detach myself from my own roots.
The culture I grew up in has shaped me into the strong, resilient, courageous and positive-minded woman I am today. That heritage is what motivates me to fight stereotypes and to value authenticity every day.
So I invite you today, to take your authentic self everywhere… remember that your heritage is your superpower.
How does your heritage contribute to the person you are today?
