The image above is from: Michoacán: Lo primero fue sembrar..
I am a Chicana- Mexicana first generation college student, first generation faculty, who earned a Ph.D. in Education at Claremont Graduate University. Her ancestors are from Purepecha lands and Tenochtitlan and she is from Santa Ines Michoacan, Mexico and grew up there with her father’s family, in Rosemead, CA with her single-parent mother, East Los Angeles and City of Commerce/ Bell Gardens. She is currently an Associate Professor in the School Leadership Program at Cal State Dominguez Hills. She studies how systemic racism in K-16 perpetuates inequities that preclude minoritized students from persisting in higher education particularly English Learners/ Emergent Bilingual Students as well as the experiences of First Generation College Students. I am also a member and board president of the East Yard Community for Environmental Justice (EYCEJ) Board of Directors and is involved with other grassroots organizations focused on protecting and healing our communities. I am a daughter, a sister, a tia madrina, a friend, and constantly learning from everyone else’s light and reclaiming my ancestral connection to plant medicine. We are all related.
