# National Hispanic Heritage Spotlight: Nicole Campos

By Kylie Young, EEO Assistant

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.  –              
In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Defense Logistics Agency Distribution spotlights Nicole Campos, a management analyst at DLA Distribution Sigonella, Italy.

Campos believes that recognizing National Hispanic Heritage Month is very important because it raises awareness of the challenges that Hispanic people go through.

“Hispanic Heritage Month serves as a platform for raising awareness about the challenges, struggles and triumphs of the Hispanic community in America,” she said. “It fosters dialogue, promotes inclusivity and helps combat stereotypes and misconceptions about Hispanics.”

“Hispanic Heritage Month provides an opportunity to celebrate the diverse cultures, histories and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. It acknowledges the vast range of backgrounds, traditions and achievements within the Hispanic community, promoting cultural understanding and appreciation.”

Campos is proud of her Mexican heritage. Something that she finds unique about her heritage is traditional Mexican cuisine.

“Mexican cuisine is renowned worldwide for its rich flavors and diverse ingredients,” she said. “From tacos and tamales to mole and guacamole, Mexican food offers a wide range of regional dishes and culinary traditions. Many Mexican families have cherished recipes that have been passed down through generations, and sharing meals together is an important aspect of Mexican family traditions.”

Campos wants the DLA Distribution workforce to take from National Hispanic Heritage Month that it is important to build connections with Hispanic people.

“Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to build bridges and foster connections between different communities, she said. “By acknowledging and celebrating Hispanic culture, it promotes dialogue, understanding and collaboration among people of diverse backgrounds. It reinforces the value of inclusivity and highlights the importance of embracing and appreciating all cultures.”

“This month provides a platform for building connections and relationships between individuals from diverse backgrounds. By participating in events, festivals and activities, people can come together, share experiences, and create lasting connections, fostering a sense of unity and community.”

Campos also believes that recognizing National Hispanic Heritage Month will inspire young Hispanic people to accomplish their goals.

“Celebrating Hispanic heritage highlights the achievements and contributions of Hispanic individuals throughout history. It can serve as an inspiration, particularly for young people, by showcasing role models from various fields wo have made significant impacts. This can motivate individuals to pursue their goals and aspirations.”
