A Chicana in the Tucson desert

Beyond excited for this new cookbook! #mymexicanroots #ilovetocook

Tucson's MOCA held their MOCA at Home art event at the home of friend & art collector Eugenia Woods. A piece she commissioned Mel to paint was the main event of the evening #mocatucson #melodominguez #contemporaryart #feelingblessed

It's pretty amazing to find out about ancestors you didn't know. Man in the middle is my 4th great grandpa born in Turkey - a soldier in the Southwest who married an Apache woman and the man on the right- their son, my 3rd great grandpa ❤️
