I'm so honored to be a part of Twitch's Hispanic Heritage Month. The truth is though, I didn't always embrace who I am. I was hoping to have a career in music when I graduated from high school. (1/3 https://twitter.com/Twitch/status/1305914598583947265
My band went on small tours and the more people I met, the more I was scared that the music industry wouldn't accept 5 mexican-americans from the Rio Grande Valley making pop-rock music. I hated my accent and tried my hardest to hide it when I hung out with new people. (2/3)
Moving to Austin & San Francisco helped me embrace who I am. It makes me stand out and I hope other latinx people see what I do on my streams or with @KindaFunnyVids & know it's possible to find a place in this industry. Be proud of where you come from❤️(3/3)
