Featured CHAC Artist~Ana Ortiz

Hello (Tialli)!!
My name is (Notoca)- Analisa Ortiz. I grew up in Commerce City Colorado for a majority of my life. I am originally from Seattle Washington. I graduated from Adams City High School in 1994 and continued my education with a Criminal Justice Degree. Growing up I remember trying to connect to my roots, in hopes of discovering who I am, as I always felt like I didn’t fit in.
My morena skin wasn’t like everyone else’s skin and I always wondered where my people came from, and not just my family members but our ancestors. Where have we been, what have we accomplished and what is in our future? I remember keeping my eyes and ears open, in hopes of learning something I might hear from an adult around me. As I journeyed into each phase of my youth into adulthood, I always found my pansa was full when I explored my creativity. This could have been everything between researching a new music artist and connecting to their music, to researching a new recipe and creating a great meal. I was most humble when I look around the table and I see mi familia howling with their pansa’s full. Wherever you find your inspiration, grasp it and emerge yourself fully!!
