In Equipo, I want to continue the work that has been already started. Help uplift the voices of not just the Hispanic community but everyone who is involved around it.

I hope to acquire a deeper cultural understanding and responsibility to my Latine community, learning about other Latine cultures and traditions has allowed me to further grow my passion and understanding para la raza.

While being with EQUIPO, I hope to make other students feel comfortable and welcomed at PCC. I hope to create and work on activities, workshops, and other innovating spaces that will help our campus reach a more equitable degree. Take space and make space.

Sociocultural Anthropology

What I hope to accomplish this year is to educate students on the power they bring to the table and that every experience is unique to their own journeys that they have taken thus far. Also, to present to other institutions on the knowledge we have accumulated over time and our findings on what the outcome has been.

I would like to help new or returning students to be able to achieve their goals in college by providing them with resources and assistance for whatever they may need. Whether they are first-generation students or parents, I would like to be a part of a team that can help students achieve their goals and help them along the way.

Mexican
Studio Arts/Linguistics

During my time in Equipo, I hope to be more involved with my peers at PCC by providing students educational, as well as personal, resources and information through workshops and events where they can feel included. I'm proud of being Queer and Mexican. I believe that understanding and advocating for intersectionality is essential for a sense of unity since we might share similar struggles, identities, traditions, stories, ideas, or even be completely different. The diversity in the voices speaking up should be heard, so we can learn and form connections simultaneously. Lifting each other up enhances our experiences, I hope I can serve as a voice for, not only Latine students, but everyone too.

I hope I can involve more students to be more involved in their school, I hope they pursue their education and make sure they can navigate around their resources and through their education. Overall, I want students to succeed and encourage more Hispanic students to pursue a career in the STEM field.

I hope to create a welcoming experience and safe place for students throughout the year. Whether it be through sharing resources or interacting with activities, I would like for PCC students to feel inspired.

In EQUIPO, I want to help Latine students find a sense of belonging. It’s really important that when we focus on sense of belonging or representation, we view it in an intersectionality manner. As Latine, it’s important to recognize that we are extremely diverse. Unfortunately, because of racism and ignorance, we tend to focus on certain type of Latine, rather than others. In our culture we see aspects of colorism, homophobia, and sexism, and although we ourselves do consider these aspects as harmful, there are some things that we internalize. My hope for EQUIPO, is to be able to talk about the faults in our culture and be able to help dismantle these aspects that we have internalized.
