“We are on Earth to take care of

also environmentalists, and raised in the town of San Pedro Tultepec in Lerma.
Her father is of Otomi-Toltec descent while
her Chilean mother has Celtic ancestry. Bastida currently holds dual Mexican
and Chilean citizenship.
Bastida and her family moved to
New York City after extreme looding hit their hometown of San Pedro Tultepec in 2015 following three
years of drought. Bastida attended The Beacon School. She enrolled at the
