Have you ever felt like you were living with a certain stigma associated with your immigrant identity?
“Yes, after I got into college. I went to a high school that was mostly white. When I got into college, a lot of my friends applied to Hopkins and didn’t get in, so they said I only got in because I’m Hispanic and the school wants diversity and everything. So there was a stigma, like, ‘Did I get in because I deserve it?’”
What motivated you to participate in this initiative and what do you hope to gain from or give back to your community by participating?
“I don’t think there’s any representation. There’s just a black box of, ‘Oh, they’re immigrants.’ If you don’t see them directly around you in your community, you stop thinking they’re people with complex lives. So I hope at least one person sees something differently - that’d be nice.”
