Natalia | Latinx Heritage Month Photoshoot

“My maternal grandfather was a brick maker/construction worker and my maternal grandmother worked as a maid, and eventually started a daycare in her home. My paternal grandmother was a bank teller for 20+ years, and my pops has been a mechanic for 20+ years. My mom works as an office manager at a dental office, and my dad was a guitar technician.

My mom and all her siblings were all born in Tijuana, Mexico. My maternal grandmother was born and raised in Cuidad Obregon, Sonora. My maternal grandfather was born and raised in Delicias, Chihuahua. My dad and his mom were both born and raised here in Fresno, Ca. My paternal grandfather was born in Morelia, Michoacán.

Wether they know it or not, my family has taught me the importance of communication. I value good communication very much. Speak up for yourself, for your needs, for what you want, speak up for others. Good communication can mend broken bonds, it can approve your relationship with somebody.”
