“I discovered my passion for social justice while in college when I took a course on race and racism. Prior to that, I had no words to express the injustices that I had experienced and seen as a Latina immigrant. The course opened my eyes and heart, and helped me find the vocabulary to describe my experience. It motivated me to choose a career path focused on social justice where I could work alongside my community.”
