It was truly an honor to be invited to educate Congress, Congressional staff, and others at the Capital in Washington DC on the issues California field workers endure to feed our nation.

@alexontiveros2014, @belinda.arriaga and I had the opportunity to share our film, solutions and call to actions on behalf of farmers and farm workers.
This was always our goal. To bring awareness and education to those who can shape laws and bring reformation at the highest level.

Special thank you to @romavistaphotography and @romavistaproductions for capturing this event

Congratulations to Aiden who worked so hard and pushed past so many trials to get to this milestone. 🎓 It was my honor to award him a scholarship this year! 🎉

Stein is an alternative high school that gives students a second chance. As both a former graduate and scholarship recipient myself, it is my mission to serve, advocate for, and champion these amazing students!

Side note: Several students came up to me and shared how my book impacted their lives and how my workshop helped them through a tough time. I got daps and hugs and I’m still overwhelmed with emotion 😭😂

Students at alternative education schools often go unrecognized for their hard work and determination.

Since 2019, it has been a privilege to honor the perseverance of the remarkable students of George and Evelyn Stein High School with a scholarship of my own.

As a former graduate, I want to encourage you all that the sky is the limit!

Congratulations to the Class of 2025! You deserve to be celebrated!
