@RIDICULO_pathy I look back with pride on being sent to principals’ offices (once for graffitiing over racist graffiti in my schoolyard when I was 10). Challenging rules as justice requires— could become an immigration lawyer like me
Agradezco a las organizaciones pro migratorias @ALIANZAAMERICAS, @CarecenDC, @carecensf por su compromiso con nuestros hermanos en el exterior.
