Inspiration:
"Memories of my mother who migrated back and forth from Puerto Rico to New York to work in garment factories while staying connected to her roots and family back in the island. Mami moved on to driving taxis and later a security guard before retiring. She was a model to my siblings and of faith, resilience and grit to keep going even in adversity. "
