Growing up I have always been identified - and truthfully, often have identified myself - as Cuban. I am one half Cuban from my dad's side, and from that half I inherited my outward appearance: olive skin, almond-shaped eyes, thick eyebrows, "Latina curves," loads of leg hair.

Whitman's Glean Team harvest fruits and vegetables from farms around the Walla Walla valley and donate them to local food banks, in order to provide healthy food to those in need as well as save food which would otherwise go to waste.
