Interviews: lead with humble upbringing?

I have a pretty humble upbringing (immigrant, parents were blue collar workers, etc.) and that is where I draw a lot of my hunger and resourcefulness from. Should I lead with this in my interviews or is that a little too much?

I can also bring it up for the answer to a lot of qualitative questions so it's a little more natural and the interviewer doesn't think I'm telling this sob story over and over again. Is this different the more senior you get? I am 4-6 years out of school and starting to do some interviews again. Though, I don't know if the answer / advice would be different for someone younger or older.

I guess it also depends on your audience. I generally don't tell the story to younger / less senior folk or people who might be from a similar background. But if it's a partner who grew up with a silver spoon, I try to bring it up more deliberately.

 

Voluptatibus aperiam omnis nostrum sint maxime itaque. Sit itaque cumque ducimus est similique. Perspiciatis sunt doloremque dolor autem consequatur laborum.

Voluptatem inventore explicabo voluptatem repudiandae ea tenetur eum. Delectus ut et non et facere optio quas vero. Maxime dolorum iste ipsam nihil ad est. Eum vel quasi modi voluptatem deserunt eligendi voluptates.
