Hispanic Heritage Month: Briana Hrey
Hispanic Heritage Month honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans and their influence on the history, culture and achievements of the United States. During this important observation, we are pleased to spotlight our team members who show how our different backgrounds contribute to strengthening our PSA team.
DFW-based Flight Attendant Briana Hrey was the first of her family to work within the aviation industry and is proud to help represent Hispanic and Latina women in the field.
To help celebrate Hispanic Heritage month, Briana shared some of her favorite family values and cultures alongside honoring those who paved the way for her.
What are some of your favorite customs or values from your culture?
One of my favorite parts of my Hispanic heritage is how much importance we place on family, food, music, and simply being together. I love the traditions that bring everyone around the table, celebrating holidays and special occasions with good food, lots of laughter, music, and stories. No matter how busy life gets or how far apart we may be, family always has a way of bringing us back together.
What does your heritage mean to you?
My heritage is a huge part of who I am. It represents family, strength, resilience, love, and pride in where I come from. Being Latina has taught me the importance of working hard, staying connected to my roots, and carrying the values and traditions passed down through generations with me wherever I go. As a flight attendant, I especially love being able to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds while proudly representing my own.
What are you most proud to celebrate during Hispanic Heritage Month?
During Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m most proud to celebrate the strength, diversity, and accomplishments of the Hispanic and Latino community. I love seeing our cultures, stories, traditions, music, food, and contributions recognized and celebrated. Most importantly, I’m proud to honor the generations before us who paved the way and to carry that pride forward in everything I do — including every time I put on my wings.
