About
I am a Cicero resident who went to Columbia College Chicago and graduated as a Photo major with a concentration in Photojournalism. Through my journey, I realized community storytelling is very important and needed for people’s voices to be heard and shared by the members of the community. As a visual storyteller, I realized that in media outlets, information was provided in English and only basic translations were offered for Spanish speakers/consumers, media’s structure didn’t include non-English speakers.
I met like-minded individuals who live in Cicero and we created Cicero Independiente, a bilingual news organization bringing transparency and access to information to Cicero residents. In my work, I use my background in photography and multimedia to tell stories within my community here in Cicero and other communities.
