✨ Today marks the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month, just one day before Mexican Independence Day.
Although I personally don’t identify as “Hispanic,” this is one of the few nationally recognized moments where my identity and story find a place.
My name is Jasmin Olvera-Dena (pronounced just like Juan, José, Jesús—it’s *Jasmin* ). I am the proud daughter of Mexican immigrants, rooted in our traditions, and dedicated to supporting families in California.
My culture, heritage, and ancestral practices shape the way I show up for families every day. While I don’t often share much of my personal life here, I am currently living between CA and CDMX, continuing to practice and preserve our traditions so they are not forgotten.
This month, I am honored to be a guest speaker at San José City College, sharing the work we do at Oxomohco.
Enjoy this little Mexican photo dump, including a glimpse of our traditional wedding photo. Thank you for uplifting and supporting my Indigenous small business!
Your support makes this work possible. 🌿✨
