Ep 48
It is with so much sorrow in my heart that I post this episode. I do not want to lose hope. The Black community in Buffalo deserves everything we have. The Taiwanese parishioners in Santa Ana deserve everything we have. The children and teachers who were murdered in Uvalde deserve everything we have. Every victim of gun violence deserves everything we have. Not one more.
My partner and husband, John Lira is running against the representative whose district includes Uvalde. If you can support John's campaign to unseat Tony Gonzales, we would appreciate it! Not one more politician who won't vote for commonsense gun laws! Go to www.liraforcongress.com
In this episode, La Profesora talks with Juan Carlos Salinas about the college access program he founded, Y Tu También, which is based out of New York City.
The program, funded through the La Unidad Latina Foundation, prepares high schoolers for admission to Ivy League institutions. It is certainly a labor of love, and Juan Carlos believes in paying it forward.
Dr. David Martinez from our Academic Hype Team showcases the efforts of Dr. Melissa Nevarro Martel.
