Jorge Ortiz: Keeping My Cultural Identity Secret

We are not defined by others' opinions of us. But those opinions can be challenging to overcome. When we are young, those outside influences can shape our thinking about ourselves. The change we want to see in the world will require that we own our true authentic power. With a ton of courage, tenacity, and self-love, Jorge Ortiz is a shining example of claiming his heritage, celebrating the differences and stepping into his greatness.
