Home for me is the borderlands. Having been raised along the San Diego/Tijuana border divide, my persona has been deeply shaped by a transfronteriza/transborder experience which in turn has determined the kind of work that I do, that I offer, and that I am compelled to collaborate around, ultimately because I find value in public pedagogy, in embedded praxis, in cultural/arts production and in producing knowledge with and about communities who are creatively resisting and building.
