Nopal in my blood, Maple in my heart

"Nopal" means Prickly pear, which is one of the cactus species found in abundance in Mexico, while Maple leaf has always been a prominent feature of the landscape in the eastern parts of Canada.

I am Mexican and living in Vancouver since 2011. I created Nopal y Maple  for you, a migrant woman facing the challenges of belonging into a new country.

At Nopal y Maple you will find resources, tools, and entertainment for your personal growth and understanding of the complexity that comes with your migration. Nopal and Maple can also help you improve your social skills, interactions, self-confidence, and embrace your migration process.

I firmly believe in the influence, capacity, and importance of migrant Hispanics in the world.

 

I'm Vania, Gracias for being here!
