What do you do?
I am an educator in the immigrant movement. As an Undocumented person, I knew I had found my voice and resilience when I started doing this work. I am the Host of a Shot of Truth Podcast including the designer, marketer, and project manager. I've been speaking all over the country for several years and have more recently presented internationally in a virtual setting. My work has exceeded the very borders that I felt kept me here for so long. The work I do is revolutionary--it's digitally organizing, connecting, building community, and sharing knowledge.
Advice/words of wisdom that affected your life you’d like to pass on?
Be kind to yourself. I've learned so much in my solitude this past year and so much of it was processing emotions I had dissociated from in the past. Allow yourself to feel and breathe through the motions of life. Hold yourself a little tighter, give yourself more compliments, it's hard out here. We all need a little bit more love.
