In my community the women use stones to grind corn to make tortillas the same way our ancestors did. The women use this method three times a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The stones used convert the corn into dough and gives the tortillas color. The tortillas are very delicious!

I am still unsure what I want to be when I grow up.
