A few weeks ago I had the honor of interviewing two DACA recipients, who just so happen to be my cousins! I did it in podcast form as I think it’s a little easier to hear what someone has to say as oppose to reading it sometimes. The first few minutes my niece is rudely and loudly interrupting because she is strong, independent and will always reclaim her time–but then she took a nap because being a feminist is exhausting!
My cousins did an excellent job of explaining what DACA is to them and what their plan is with this this program currently in jeopardy. If you know nothing about DACA or if you want to know what a DREAMER had to deal with to get on DACA or if you fall anywhere in between, I implore you to listen and simply educate yourself a little more.
We are incredibly lucky to be surrounded by documented and undocumented people alike in this country. In the words of John Legend, “They’re people. They’re our friends, neighbors and co-workers. They’re dreamers & lovers.” And in the words of Angel Pedraza “we’re not going anywhere.” Thanks for listening, guys!
Keep rockin’ it brown girl! I love you and am so proud of your work! I could go on & on about race/division and how wrong it is.
However, you educating people about the realities I pray more ears hear and realize we are ONE people that deserve an opportunity to better our lives. IGNORANCE BREEDS IGNORANCE.
