I was born in the sacred valley of the Incas, in a mud hut with only my parents and sisters present to welcome me into this world. I am proud to be Quechua, Andean/Inca (indigenous to Peru). In 2018 I registered my first business Indigenous Come Up, where I make and design everything from stress balls to jewelry. I also work with other business owners who are survivors of government and tribal systems. Through growing this business I become the organizer of the local Portland Indigenous Marketplaces and now I am Executive Director of this non-profit that I founded.
