How does language access affect how young immigrants navigate the public education system in America? Born in the city of Nezahualcóyotl in Mexico, Brenda Valeria Perez Amador is a passionate advocate for helping other young immigrants including those with the protection of DACA. Brenda, a DACA recipient herself, reflects on her love of learning, but recalls many instances of language injustice she encountered while attending public school in D.C. after arriving in the U.S. in 2006 at the age of 10. In this episode of Undocu-Life, listeners will learn more about Brenda’s upbringing and how her immigration experiences have inspired her to combat racial injustice, harmful immigration narratives, climate change, food insecurity, and more intersectional issues.
