As we marched through our local streets, we made our voices heard,” she said. “We will be remembered as the class that made a difference. A class that stood up for what we believe in, who spoke up for our parents and grandparents when they were told they didn't have a voice. We were united not only by our culture, but by our shared belief that education can help us fight for justice and freedom. I'm incredibly proud to call myself a member of this class.” Atop their white robes, several of her classmates wore stoles resembling the flags of countries their families hail from. Many of their caps also bore the same message: “Para mis padres” — “For my parents.”

One thing I hope happens here: support each other’s good work. I don’t feel cringe telling someone I love their work. I want to be a fan instead of worried someone is gonna “take my niche.”

I’m a writer now because I had two people reach out to directly support my work. More of that, please!
