Belen Medina: Hi, my name is Belen Medina. And Belen means Bethlehem in Spanish. And I was actually born on Christmas Day, so my mom named me Belen. And recently, I also Googled my name and it also means house of bread in Hebrew, which is actually very fitting for me because I really love bread.
And now my kids always tell me that I need to eat all the bread because I am the house of bread. But it was still hard for people to pronounce, and I actually didn't really like my name at first. I wanted it to be called Jennifer or some kind of name like that.
But now I'm really proud of my name. It's unique, it has a story, and it's something that has a part of my heritage. So that's something that I really now am proud of.
