About

Becoming Mexican is a documentary project created by Carly Diaz, a New York-based creative director and visual storyteller. Through visual guides through Mexico and interviews with Mexican-Americans, she aims to explore Mexican heritage and cultural identity. By seeking out people, food, products, places, and stories with a connection to Mexico, she aims to build a bridge of understanding. In addition, Becoming Mexican provides a platform to counter the current political framing of immigrants and to showcase the incredible work of Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and the creative force they add to the world.
