Gender Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

What do you currently do for work and/or school?: I am the owner of a fully vegan fully Salvadoran plant-based cuisine, The Salvi Vegan with over 45 veganized Salvadoran dishes.

Without positions or titles, how would you describe yourself?: I am a silly, wears her heart on her sleeve type of person who is loyal to her people and wants to help out as much the community like she was helped when young.

What are you passionate about?: The arts and making people feel good and achieve greatness through it.

Why is the representation of scholars of color important to you?: It is extremely important because we need to have our community see ourselves in a good light and showing the younger generation that they can and will achieve their dreams if they work hard and believe it. Too many times we as people of color are seen in negative content and we need to show that we are resilient when faced with adversity. We are phenomenal and have given so much to this world.

If people are interested in getting connected to you, how can they?: Through any of my social media: The Salvi Vegan

Anything else you would like us to know?:Truly and genuinely supporting each other is the only way to excellency.

Thank you Norma for sharing space with us!
