I am beyond excited to be celebrating the release of Disney•Pixar "COCO" with a themed movie night, and feel very honored to be able to share this experience with all of you. As you already know, I was born and raised in my dear old Mexico, and because of this, I am very attached to the tradition of celebrating the Day of the Dead. I really love to tell stories about my ancestors, especially my close relatives, in order to keep the memories alive; I think it's very important. Now that I am a Citizen of the United States, it brings me much joy to be able to share this beautiful tradition with my husband's family and my friends here in the US. To me, this movie represents how rich diversity is, and how wonderful adopting other cultural traditions may be to our own families.
