  • Summary

  • Humberto was born in Mexico City, grew up in Monterrey, and moved to Houston, Texas when he was 10. Both countries have their own problems regarding race and immigration and from a young age, he was aware of the tensions in the United States, even in a place as diverse as Houston. Returning to Mexico - where others didn't see him as Mexican enough - and living in the US - where he wasn't American enough - has become something he recently accepted as part of his identity. There are many, many Mexicos, Mexicans say; Humberto’s story is emblematic of a new kind. 

    Humberto is completing his master's degree in Latin American Studies and is focusing on how the pandemic has affected the informal economy in Mexico City. He has worked as a journalist in local news, Forbes and The Yomiuri Shimbun (Japan's largest newspaper) covering foreign affairs, immigration and politics.
