Learn more about the speaker @inner_work_collective_freedom 🦋

About this session: From an undocumented immigrant perspective, Garcia will explore and challenge a term often used by allies to describe undocumented students: resilient. Garcia is “bold enough to imagine a world where undocumented people are not praised for being resilient but for resting, being soft and investing in connection and relationships.” Join the conversation!

For questions, please contact Luvia Moreno at lu-moreno@neiu.edu.
