She oldest of three, Xihomara want to be a fashion designer when she grows up. There’s actually a story behind how she got her name and it starts by her parents not knowing what to name her until Xihomara’s aunt made a list of girl names and the name that stand out was Xihomara because it was underlined, circled and highlighted so her parents took it and that list wasn’t return to her aunt. A few of Xihomara’s favorite things to do after school is to be with her family, go to the movies and listen to music. Her favorite food is Carne Asada Fries.
