In Peru it is also considered a flagship dish and cultural heritage.

Serendipity, grace, fun, and wonder come to mind as I ventured out this past Saturday to restart my Latinx Portrait project.

After successfully achieving my initial goal of capturing 25 portraits in 2023 through the Arts & Science Council Creative Mecklenburg Grants Program, I am now transitioning to phase two: aiming for 75 portraits.

What is different now is that I aim to amplify my reach to include an even more diverse array of voices, reflecting the rich heritages, varied experiences, and vibrant communities within the Latinx community. My unwavering commitment remains: to honor each individual and share their essence.

Where I was only focusing on Charlotte residents, I am now expanding to include all residents of NC. Also, to reach my goal of 75, I will do more street-style photography, limiting time with a subject. I recognize that this approach may alter the depth of the storytelling.

Thankfully, this was not the case with Chef Edwin Cruz. Originally from Mexico, Edwin has called Charlotte home since age 13. As the founder and owner of Edwin's Organix, he embodies a passion for food that transcends borders. Our extended conversation spanned nearly three hours, during which we explored shared experiences and encountered other remarkable community members in Uptown Charlotte. Among them were Sydney Duarte (of Duarte Designs) and Norma Zugiña (from Dulce Dreams cafe), who graciously allowed me to capture their portraits—soon to be featured in Latinx Portraits.

Edwin’s culinary odyssey began at Burger King when he was just 17. His unwavering passion for food has led him through diverse roles: managing a Five Guys restaurant for over five years and eventually being recruited by Famous Toastery. Edwin found both training and creative freedom as the head chef of their Winston-Salem, NC location. These experiences laid the groundwork for his journey as a chef.

Today, Edwin stands as a testament to resilience, creativity, and the love of food. His passion has led him to innovate, create pop-up events, organize events for local organizations and prominent Charlotte families, and connect with entities such as Charlotte Wine & Food and Compare Foods to benefit the local community and elevate and share his love for food, respectively. His work with Charlotte Food and Wine has raised thousands of dollars to support children and their families in the Charlotte community. His partnership with Compare Foods Charlotte is sharing cooking tips and recipes with thousands through social media.

I am excited to continue documenting and highlighting people like Edwin, whose talent, resilience, creativity, and passions are contributing to the vibrant tapestry of North Carolina.

Happy International women day!

Thank you for making me part of your foundation. I am so excited to work with you guys and learn about the Argentina culture and gastronomy. I can’t wait for this year coming events.
