Growing up in a predominantly Mexican American region of the country located in the American Southwest, full of rich flavors and heritage and pride in preserving both, Muñoz did not fully understand the social and economic inequities endured by her people and their community compared to the rest of the country and how those differences did not effectuate opportunities and security for this population. Through it all, her family and community continued to be her inspiration. With their encouragement, she found ways to document their stories, find her voice, and share the inequities and travesties felt by her people—universal stories that other oppressed cultures and communities worldwide often experienced.

In 2020, as a PhD candidate, specializing in US-Mexico Studies, Muñoz created the Border Community Digital Archive Project. The digital archive produces video interviews and original photography of multigenerational, double-hybridized Border people, regional indigenous populations, detained migrants, and asylum seekers situated along the US-Mexico Border.

In the fall of 2022, Muñoz and her team conducted 27 interviews, and in September of 2024, her team was invited to the Chihene Nde Apache Nation Gathering by Chairman Manuel Sanchez to interview tribal members and capture cultural traditions.

Through this project, Muñoz hopes to assert herself as a leader in this field, focusing on the US-Mexico Border, capturing and curating a diverse array of voices from the area and across our borders, and encouraging people to use these stories to further their artistic projects and continue telling stories
