My story

Boyle Heights raised me

I came up through foster care, made it to UCLA on a full ride, and bought my first home before 25. The way I've learned to heal is by talking about it β€” and by showing up for my community. Boyle Heights has a long history of perseverance, hard work, and love, and I'm not going anywhere.
