Sister Castro is a nun at St. Rita’s Catholic Church and a member of Sisters for Christian Community. She lives in Southeast San Diego.

When I was first asked to contribute to the San Diego Latino Legacy project, I thought I didn’t think I had much to offer. And that’s what I told the Latino Legacy Foundation.

Then, after I began reflecting on my life, I realized that I grew up in a time period that wasn’t very welcoming to Latinos like myself.
