The meaning behind the name.
"Not only do I share my middle names with my mother, Renee, and my mother’s mother, Johanna, but the maiden name of my father’s mother, Cazares. It was a pleasant accident [for me] that happened during my father’s visa process which gifted me an “all-female” name that constitutes my love for family and my identity as a Mexican-Italian woman."
