FAMILY
The people, contradictions, memories, and inherited stories that came before me.
ROOTS
FAMILY. MICHOACÁN. CULTURE. IDENTITY. BELONGING.
I CAN KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT PRETENDING I CAME FROM NOWHERE.
Roots are not a museum exhibit. They are the things that keep traveling with me: family, Michoacán, Purépecha ancestry, language, food, memory, land, and the questions that come with belonging to more than one world.
This section is not here to reduce identity to symbols. It is where I make room for the people, places, stories, and inherited history that continue shaping how I understand myself.
THE STORY IS BIGGER THAN A LAST NAME.
MICHOACÁN
A geographic and cultural point of return inside the larger family story.
PURÉPECHA
Ancestry I want to approach with respect, curiosity, and enough humility not to turn it into decoration.
BELONGING
The ongoing work of understanding what I carry, what I reclaim, and what I choose to pass forward.
RECLAIMING MY NAME
The next major Roots chapter will trace the deliberate movement into the name Cazonci Yacata, what it means to me, and how ancestry, identity, and authorship began converging.
