Q. What are your afflictions of the present life? Among my worries is the lack of respect and understanding in some sectors of the population of the United States that makes these people see immigrants as invaders and at the global level is the role of religion in issues such as wars and events of destruction and hate of most importance of our history are always tied to religion.
Q. How did you find Renacer Boliviano Dance Troupe? The call of the blood and a yearning to be with my people. It was the best thing that has happened to me.... Renacer is my second family.
Q. What important or interesting facts have marked your life? I do not know, but if there is something I have to say is that I would be nothing of who I am if not for the work and effort of my mother. She is the most important example that I could have. A woman who has fought against all odds to achieve the life she dreamed. Her tenacity is my admiration, and I know that she inherited it from my grandmother Gladys, who simply is the angel and the pillar of my family. |
