"School was very challenging for me as I was growing up. My father was a day laborer for many crop farms. Some of my favorite memories were traveling from place to place in the northern part of California picking different types of fruits and vegetables every summer. So, this was hard for me because having to move from one school to another every crop season it was not easy."
"My hard work paid off. Shortly after entering my career as a paralegal and working with attorneys in various practices. Working with these attorneys made me value the work that I do for minorities and low-income immigrants."

I saw first hand the amount of time and effort they put into obtaining their legal status, and found it difficult knowing that they weren’t able to enjoy it.

Reese Cuevas - Media Producer
Reese Cuevas was born and raised in Montebello, CA to both first and second generation immigrants who left Queretaro, Mexico to move to the United States.
​
Reese is currently studying Media Production at Occidental College in Eagle Rock, CA.
"I have always felt a strong connection to immigrants' rights given that many members of my family are first or second generation immigrants from Mexico. Despite hearing many stories passed down from both family and friends alike I will never truly comprehend the difficult journey of immigrating and assimilating into the United States. I do however have a deep seated respect for those who came before me and those who arrive after in pursuit of a better quality of life in the United States. I am proud to help serve those members of our community who are currently undergoing the immigration process as well as share their inspiring stories with our community. I believe that in sharing stories of community members success through the immigration process that we can inspire those with doubts that they deserve the same rights and opportunities as citizens of the United States".
