Brava Erica. She came all the way back from dropping out at 15, pregnant, to a Masters’ in counseling. What an honoring of her parents to pose in the tomato fields where they picked together. When you see proof of the American dream, it is so very heartening in these dark times.
Erica’s story is America’s story: a story of hope, determination, and finding her American dream.https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/26/us/graduation-photo-honors-immigrant-parents-trnd/index.html …

Alfaro said she hopes posting her graduation photos in the fruit fields will inspire others in the Latino community who face similar struggles. "These photos represent many of us. Our parents came to this country to give us a better life and we wouldn't be here without them."

I love the visual metaphor as well. On this soil, she was nurtured to grow into the leader she is.

It’s an inspiring story, but it also pushes this narrative that you “NEED TO GO TO COLLEGE” to (a) be successful and (b) make money. Sadly, she picked a major where she isn’t going to make more than a garbage man
