Reconnecting with mis raíces (my roots)
Isabel Llamas
My mother has always been a symbol of my roots because she represents the bravery of coming to an unknown country at a young age, and this empowers me. She is dressed in traditional Guatemalan clothing and her face is exuding hope for the future. Roots are crawling up the walls as a way of signifying my roots entering my life. Recently, I have been indulging in my roots by learning more about my family.
