My name is Yuliana Barrón Pérez. As the Tri-Chair for the 49th Annual MEChA de UCLA’s Latinx Graduation ceremony I had the opportunity to give an address in-front of 10,000 people at Pauley Pavilion Stadium at UCLA.
I was born and raised in Salinas, California, one of the largest agricultural communities in the world. I come from 3 generations of Mexican farmworker day laborers who have cultivated and harvested the fields of California for decades. I have always found different avenues to advocate for farmworkers in my community and beyond.
