Grad student Laila Espinoza was raised in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico), an active area for feminicide: “No one talked about why my mother disappeared. No one wanted to tell me what happened — why she was just there one day, and the next day, she was not."

Michael Piña suffered abuse from family, local youth and a Catholic priest who, at a church retreat, “threw holy water at me, trying to get the devil out of me. It caused a lot of emotional trauma.” Now a senior, she is president and founder of Central Valley Scholars, a nonprofit group that helps bright but under-resourced first-generation, low-income, marginalized high schoolers.
