Hi, my names Stephanie Gutierrez, I'm 16 year old girl born and raised in East Los Angeles. I come from a household of immigrants, my mom and dad moved from Mexico to the United States in their late teens. My Mexican heritage is something I like to take pride in and something that is conveyed threw out my pictures.
