Concepción Carolina Vásquez is the only daughter of a valiant woman from an area of the US that borders with Mexico.She likes to think of herself as binational.

She emerged from a fusion of immigrants of Mexico, Spain, Scandinavia and natives from the present USA. Her religion is Catholic and God has always played a very important role in her life.

Ms. Vasquez grew up loving both countries: The USA, where she was born, and Mexico, where she grew up. She was taught from childhood to love the USA, honor its values, be a productive member of the community and always be proud and honored about her heritage. She was taught the history of both countries and both languages, as well as the customs of each. She was taught to never put one above the other, and to always be an American.
