Immigration reform needs to be delt with now and not be passed on as another problem to the next gen

About Me

My dominant goal in life is to help with the progression of my minority community. I am your typical Mestiza as I know much more and take more pride in my Colombian roots than my Greek ones. Someday in the very near future I will help my community overcome the discrimination and criminalization of our people, roots and heritage. Advocacy aside, I like to classify myself as a guys girl and yet have recently been meeting more and more ladies with as much political energy and cultural passion as I do!

La múcica, el baile; bueno- las bellas artes, la familia, la comida, los vinos, la actitud vácana, la conversación inteligente, sociología y antropología, la política, la religión/espiritualidad, mas el amor y respeto de uno mismo. **My beloved Hispanic culture and everything that comes with it ...
