This is Cinthia’s story. 🖤
A story rooted in food, land, family, and feeling,
in what’s been passed down, even without many words.
From her abuelita’s kitchen to the smell of rain that brings her back home, her roots live in the everyday.
Thank you, Cinthia, for trusting me with your story
and for allowing your voice, your memories, and your presence to be part of this project.
ROOts is a living, growing project centered on ancestral memory; on what we carry in our bodies,
even when history is incomplete, interrupted, or unspoken.
This piece honors her connection to her Mayan ancestry, a lineage deeply tied to land, community, and reciprocity. Where sharing the harvest comes before keeping it.
Where culture lives through hands, not just history books.
ROOts is not about knowing everything. It’s about feeling, remembering, and honoring what we can.
If this resonates with you, I’m inviting you to be part of it.
Tell your story.
However it lives in you.
What parts of your roots do you feel... even if you can’t fully explain them?
