An Excerpt in Truth I'd Been Running From

But I can't express enough

how excited I am

speaking to Beth, the program director

and seing what PALMA has done and what it's doing

I've been trying to run away from the idea that because I'm latino, I have to do stuff with the latino community

that it was cliche

but, I don't want to run from it anymore, because I found that immigrant issues, and children specifically, really energize me like nothing else

I love it dude, plain and simple. Little latino kids should be able to get to a great school like I did.

and do way better than I can



Plain and simple:

"Little latino kids should be able to get to a great school like I did.  And do way better than I can."
