Meza-Silva moved to Ireland from Colombia in 2017. Though she moved to Ireland from Colombia, she was born in Venezuela, a country with which she has a complicated relationship. Her parents moved to Venezuela in the 1980s from Colombia. When she moved to Ireland, Meza-Silva worked in manufacturing, and it came as quite a surprise to her that it was such a male-dominated industry. However, they are planning a trip to Venezuela next year as Meza-Silva hasn’t been there since shortly after her father died.
