About Adrianna Muñoz
Hello! Hola! Oi!
I am Adrianna Gabriela Muñoz, a U.S. Salvadoreña, CentroAmericana, who grew up in Santa Tecla, El Salvador. My journey started at eleven years old, I moved to NC, where I would spend ten years and consider these places home. I am a first-generation college student at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I firsthand witnessed the impoverished-social classifications in my country that would help shape how I view the world around me, and my commitment to uplifting Central American knowledge.
As I go through college, I stick to my goal of bringing different cultures together and making sure the people from my home country are heard. I want everyone to understand each other better and feel stronger.
United together, anything is possible! Unidos, todo es posible! Unidos, tudo é possível!
