Dasha's Story
"Being Latina is a big part of my identity. I was born to Ecuadorian immigrants, raised in Chicago with strong Ecuadorian roots, and Spanish as my first language. I grew up in a predominantly Latinx neighborhood in Chicago - which amplified my pride in my heritage at an early age. I have always sought out how to celebrate that heritage and share it with others. That's why I'm excited to recognize the contributions, heritage and culture of Latinos during this month!"
What do you love the most about Latin America?
I love the warmth and energy of the people, that vibrates so strong - especially on the dance floor ;-)
