Intro

I have officially begun a new chapter in my life, full of learning, observations, and lessons in life. After living in New York for the past eight years, I was desperate to see life through a different lens and live my life in another way. I was becoming way too spoiled in every way imaginable and feeling increasingly uncomfortable with that because I was losing touch with what I have known for so long that I have wanted to do- help those who are less fortunate and be a part of their struggle for social justice.

This is where I not only want to be but where I need to be: Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala

To a certain extent, I am spoiled for being here. I did not leave my family and friends behind due to arduous economic or political circumstances. This was a choice I made. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to do this and to know that I can go back whenever I want.
