Dear listener, you know, I meet a lot of people, but there are some people who I meet who stick out.

Some people who I know are going to have a big impact on American history.

Yeah, I mean American history.

One of those people is Christina Jimenez.

She has been regarded as one of the most important immigration activists over the last

couple of decades. And I've been wanting to talk to her for several months.

Christina Jimenez is the co-founder of United We Dream, which is the largest immigrant youth-led

movement in the country.

She grew up undocumented in Queens, New York,

and for years she lived in fear that she or her parents would be deported,

worried that her family would be torn apart.

Earlier this year, Christina Jimenez released her memoir, dreaming of home, how we turn fear into pride, power, and real change.

She, like I, was a guest at the Raizado Festival in Aspen, Colorado, late in August.

It's a gathering that celebrates Latino culture, leadership, and creativity.
