The place that we are in now Boone. This was the first time I was going somewhere on my own. Even though when I got here i was coming here with my sister also a freshman and a partner that was a Sophomore. I was ready to be on my own and to keep learning. The reason why Boone has became a specil place to me is because I have learned who I am and what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I have grown up and learned so much since I have came here. The tribe that lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains are the Cherokee.

Charlotte, NC This is where I ended up moving to when I was in middle school. I was so scared but I realized it is where I want to be the rest of my life because there were so many different types of people there and I was learning something about culture and traditions everyday it changed how I viewed my life. The native tribe here was the Catawba Indians.

My family and I lived here for a year (2017-2018) while I worked with the Women Photographers Collective to help produce the trilingual photo-essay project called Xanbiletik. This project involved working with Indigenous Peoples in the area. I worked with Chamulans who speak Tzotzil, the second largest indigenous group in Mexico. Tzeltal speakers are also in Chiapas state along with many other Indigenous groups. We all have fond memories of living in San Cris and want to return very soon! Our apartment was to the right of the Arco del Carmen in this photo so it was always easy to find our way home.
