Angie B has been with us since she was 9! We are so proud of her on her graduation from Kennedy HS and her UC promise path via Mission College. This bright and eager kid has blossomed into a talented and skillful young woman. Our Changing the Narrative Season 4 is entitled 'Aguantate'- which in Spanish kind of means "suck it up" but comes from the verb Aguantar-to endure. Angelica embodies the toughness that it takes push past your challenges and the beauty nurtured by an open heart and mind. Her sense of social justice and belief in the power ofnarrative are invigorating.  Go Angie!
