Saludos! I am a digital storyteller from California.

Featured projects

We humans are all so very different,

but what we do share is that we all come from a unique personal lineage,

we all have a cultural heritage that extends back to the limits of

our collective memory.

My philosophy

Monument to Benito Juárez in México City.
Benito Juárez famously said, "El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz."

Three generations from my paternal line.

Benito Juárez,

the first Indigenous president of México, said:

“Peace is achieved by respecting the rights of others.”

That is to say, when we recognize and respect the rights of others, we also affirm our own, and peace naturally follows.

Vision

There is a future where people respect one another’s personal sovereignty, recognizing that everyone can work, eat, grow, love, and lead a spiritual life as they see fit.

In this future, cultural differences are not barriers that keep us from understanding one another, rather they are valuable tools that open our minds, allowing us to think about the big picture,

and work toward a positive future together.

About me

I was named Zefferin

after my abuelo, Zeferino.

I am a Mexican American multimedia producer, designer, and illustrator from San Diego, California.

 

I have had the privilege of working in the fields of natural resources management, advocacy, and public health on both sides of the US/México border, experiences that have led me to use media work to foster mutual understanding.


I believe in a world where multiculturalism means we celebrate our own heritage while we also honor and celebrate those around us. When mutual respect and understanding are activated, diverse perspectives broaden our collective vision and strengthen our resilience as a society.
