Hispanic Heritage Month reminds me of the importance of highlighting my people. We need to highlight how diverse we are, how much we have contributed to this country, and how our stories are never told! It is essential to know my culture, and it’s important to my community and our children. Our kids deserve to see people that look like them, people who are successful – those who are change makers and have contributed so much to this country.
