The four generation Journey
Relationship:
Child of im/migrant
My family’s journey to the United States is a meaningful one, full of unique stories and experiences, all rooted in the pursuit of greater opportunities and a better life. The first member of the Lopez family to come to America was my great-grandfather, Pedro Lopez I. He emigrated from Peru, working for a small hotel company that would eventually grow in popularity over the decades. His goal was simple but powerful: to earn enough money to bring his family to the United States and build a better future for his son, my grandfather.
