Raquel Vasquez Gilliland: Hi, my name is Raquel Vasquez Gilliland. And I was named for a great-grandmother who was named Maria Raquel. She was a super cool lady. One of the things I know that she did was she was afraid that lightning was attracted to mirrors. So she would cover all the mirrors before any lightning storm. And she thought that cats attracted lightning, so she'd also throw out the cats.
