I want to thank the Dallas Mexican consulate, the Instituto do los Mexicanos, and the HACEMOS DFW Chapter for giving me the opportunity to receive this scholarship.

When I received the IME – HACEMOS DFW Scholarship, I felt blessed and relieved to have such a large amount of burden off my shoulders. As a Fashion Merchandising senior at Texas Woman’s University, I feel that it would encourage me even further to pursue this career and represent my people well in spaces that aren’t so welcoming to us. Not only will this bring me joy, but it will bring my family joy to know that we are here, taking up space where we deserve; I know that in my heart, I can feel my ancestors lifting me up with this grand accomplishment. Thank you so much to the Dallas Mexican Consulate, Instituto de los Mexican@s en el Exterior, and the HACEMOS DFW chapter for this amazing opportunity.
