​Aida was born and raised in Jalisco, Mexico 58 years ago. She is the second child in a family of four. She graduated from secretarial school and worked for a few years. When she went on vacation to visit her aunt in California she decided she wanted to stay.

She got a job in a warehouse, fell in love, and started a family. When she was pregnant with her second child her boyfriend abandoned her to raise her kids alone. She worked 2 to 3 jobs to make ends meet over the next few years. On her lunch hour she would go to the daycare and watch children to help subsidize the cost.
