What a year!!!!! This one’s so special to me 🥹 I got to shoot my DAD for @kidsofimmigrants holiday ‘22 campaign. My parents sacrificed their life and moved to the United States with absolutely nothing in their pocket for a better life to make generational strides. My dad joined the U.S. army and my mom worked at the post office - both entry level government jobs because these were the one of the few accessible jobs for immigrants that they could find. They barely spoke English at the time and eventually became fluent. I watched my parents realize that becoming their own boss and building their own businesses was the real Dream. They have always encouraged me to follow my non-conventional dreams because they wanted me to dream big and that anything is possible. @kidsofimmigrants asked me: What's your wildest dream? I'm currently living my wildest dreams. I never thought I could turn my passion into a business - launching my own studio, working for myself being a woman CEO and also opening doors for people who wouldn't have access in this space otherwise. Now I need to make bigger dreams because l'm currently living my wildest dreams. “Shoutout to immigrant parents who came here with nothing, but gave us everything” Deepest thank you to the @kidsofimmigrants especially @iamdebbiegonzales & family for being the most warm, talented and empowering woman ever 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 this collection launches tomorrow!! More to come 😭
