Culture through story

“If we don’t tell our own stories, someone else will.”

Carla M.'s story is rooted in culture, showing resilience, growth, and the importance of community. This story reflects the heart of culture, showing how neighbors show up, share resources, and build strength together. It’s about turning small moments into lasting change—one safe conversation, one brave choice, one open door at a time.

Why they reached out

Carla, a Mexican immigrant, reached out to preserve her family’s history and culture for her grandkids.
