I went to my parents' hometown in Mexico, and wrote about why I'll never stop advocating for #brownbrilliance goo.gl/cTkBdm
Brown and brilliant.

Brown and brilliant.

My entire life, I separated myself from my ethnicity — succeeding in academia and being Mexican always seemed mutually exclusive.

Opinion | America’s Great Working-Class Colleges (Published 2017)

Seems disingenuous to tweet about minimum wage when you have interns in your Santa Monica office that are unpaid--legal or not. nitter.cf/senfeinstein/status/60…

Great news from Los Angeles. With minimum wage increase, city leaders are helping working families. lat.ms/1Hs3kZR #RaiseTheWage
Extremely disappointed that @SenFeinstein doesn't pay her interns. What does this show about how we value student time and labor?
