Short Synopsis:	Growing up, I absorbed the negative rhetoric my place of birth held against my family's country of origin. I down played my own sense of worth, and diminished my power. Having never seen brown, beautiful, indigenous faces in high end luxury fashion as a child, I was left feeling exiled out of a world I was so naturally drawn to. As an adult, I have since traveled back to the land of my roots, and have seen the giant murals, and statues that still stand over so many years, telling the story of the resiliency of the Mexican people. The magical ties we have to nature, to seasons, the stars, are all seen in our clothing, jewelry, and music. My hope is that this finds someone, who had the same fears of taking up space, or held any sense of shame of their roots, will see this and remind themselves how worthy they are, allow themselves to heal, release their limiting beliefs, and in turn be filled with pride.
