In Frame: Mia Neveras
Born into a family of migrant workers, Mia is deeply rooted in hard work. It’s no easy lifestyle, in fact it’s quite the sacrifice - always on the move, with working summers and no time to establish friendships or a place one can truly call home- but she embraced that lifestyle and who it’s made her as a person: strong, determined and good-willed.
