However, she says that when people judge her for how she looks, and at times say that she does not look Guatemalan, then "I've felt a little bad because I'm 100% Guatemalan, so I don't know how to sometimes explain to people that this is a multicultural country and that we don't all look the same and that that's the beauty of society." [3]
