On May 1st, I defended my dissertation, a milestone shaped by my lived experienced. This is for first-gen students and professionals navigating spaces not built for us. This Friday, I cross the stage as my degree is formally conferred. La Lucha Sigue! #FresnoStateGrad

A weekend filled with inspiring speakers, celebration, and gratitude, honoring Dr. King and community heroes. Dr. Peter Robertson is a hero among heroes. Congratulations on receiving the Community Leadership Award presented by the @CityofFresno and MLK Unity Committee.

One thing about @Fresno_State TRIO Upward Bound is that we will manifest and prepare future doctors! As we approached the midpoint of our six-week summer program, I presented on the different levels of education and brought my regalia. My students were excited! #TRIOworks

As someone who once worked the fields as a migrant farmworker & later flew amongst the stars, I stand with our immigrant community! Their goal of reaching the American dream fuels our nation’s future - & deserve respect, dignity, & opportunity. #ImmigrantsMakeAmericaStrong🚀 🇱🇷🚀

🚨 Unannounced ICE raids in L.A. are terrorizing our communities. This administration has gone too far. As a daughter of immigrants who were once undocumented, this is personal. We must protect our immigrant brothers and sisters—our communities depend on their contributions.
