Hispanic Heritage Month

001[Music] Happy Hispanic Heritage Month. My favorite tradition that I remember from growing up has to do with the way our culture particularly honors family and honors family for generations as well as honors history. The celebration or tradition that makes me um feel most closely to my culture is weekend dinners at my grandmother's house. >> My favorite tradition is diiautos. Um we celebrate our loved ones that have passed. >> We have the day of the kid because we all the whole town comes together to celebrate each kid from Bolivia. El comb is like a huge party where you uh dance and there's a bunch of fruit. >> So my favorite dish from Bolivia would be salas. We have elo. We love to drink coffee. The different types of music and dance that we have connects me to my heart and soul to my culture. >> The paintbrush represents my favorite artist from Mexico. I like Spanish music because it makes me happy and I want to sing along with them. I feel most connected with my culture when I'm trying to help those people, those students, those family that they came to this country. >> Puerto Rican, even if I was born on the moon. It's a phrase that captures the pride we carry in our identity, no matter where life takes us. >> Spanish is uh like the culture, a bridge for friendship and pride.
