Happy 4th of July to the country that opened its arms to me 16 years ago, I’m extremely grateful for all the amazing opportunities and experiences that you’ve given me.
En esa tierra linda conseguí una excelente educación superior, experiencias de trabajo muy satisfactorias, amistades demasiado valiosas, el compañero de mi vida, y es allí también donde di a luz a mi pequeña Violet e inicié esta divina aventura de ser madre.
Thank you for being my second home for so long and for letting me achieve so many goals and pursue so many dreams. Thanks to your hospitality, I went to a great college, became a professional, landed my first real job, built the most valuable friendships, met the love of my life, gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Violet and began this incredible journey of selfless love that motherhood is.
Gracias América por haberme regalado una vida tranquila, segura, saludable y llena de felicidad.
God bless you, America, you’ve kept me and my loved ones safe and happy.

Este año me tocó celebrarte desde mi país biológico, Perú, pero mi corazón estuvo contigo desde que desperté y lavé los platos del desayuno escuchando a Bruce Springsteen cantar “Born in the USA” y “Glory Days.
This year, I celebrated your birthday from miles away, in Peru (my birth country), but my heart was with you since I woke up this morning and washed the breakfast dishes listening to Bruce Springsteen singing “Born in the USA” and “Glory Days.”
Salud en este día tan especial, my dear.
Cheers to you, my dear.
