America Arias
My guest today is the author of the first Children’s picture book written by a DACA Dreamer. Her name is Areli Morales, (@AreliNYC) and she’s a DACA recipient and school teacher. In her book, “Areli is a Dreamer” she shares her experience uprooting from Mexico and moving to New York as a little girl.
FIRST: In this episode, we get into how a failed opportunity landed Areli a huge second chance to publish this book!
THEN: Areli will share 5 amazing tips if you’re interested in writing and publishing your own book one day.
AND FINALLY: We get into what allies– especially teachers in the classroom– can do to support undocumented students or those living in mixed immigration households.
